EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Fan, France, c. 1880" takes us back to the enchanting world of 19th-century fashion and artistry. Created by an unknown artist, this exquisite fan showcases the intricate craftsmanship and attention to detail that defined the era. The fan's delicate structure features etched pierced and gilded pearl sticks, adding a touch of elegance to its overall design. The painted silk and gauze fabric beautifully displays vibrant colors that were popular during this time period in France. Adorned with gold and silver spangled mount, this accessory exudes luxury and sophistication. As we gaze at this hand-held treasure, we are transported to a bygone era where fans were not only fashionable but also served as practical accessories for women seeking relief from the summer heat or as stylish complements to their attire. The fan's rhinestone rivet gilt loop adds a subtle sparkle while highlighting the fine weaving techniques employed in its creation. Its presence evokes images of elegant ladies gracefully fanning themselves at grand balls or soirées held in opulent European settings. Preserved within the Art Institute of Chicago's collection, this heritage art piece serves as a testament to the rich history of textile arts in France during the late 19th century. Though its creator remains unknown, their skillful craftsmanship has left an indelible mark on our appreciation for beauty through time.
