An antique Brussels bobbin lace with mother of pearl sticks, brass hardware and a great silk tassel. The fan is about 20 3/4" x 10 3/4'".
The lace design is mostly botanical with some Art Deco like lines competing the look. There is a silk tassel; almost all fans had them but now frequently the tassels are absent. This tassel is a beauty; compare it with many other fan tassels currently listed. CONDITION OF FAN: The lace came loose on two sticks, it's glued to the top half of a stick (in one case) or the very top (in another.) Otherwise very good. ********************************************************************************************************************* |
