Striking vintage Victorian - 1800-1850 - fan blades from a Brisé fan make a great statement earring. Light to wear from LMS ear wires
Brisé fans have no fan leaf and are comprised of fan sticks held in place by a silk cord or ribbon. The sticks are often decorated by delicate piercing and carving. The intricate work on these mother of pearl fan sticks create an illusion of lace
This mother of pearl has a lovely iridescent shimmer
Hand fans originated about 4000 years ago in Egypt. Egyptians viewed them as sacred objects, and the tomb of Tutankhamun contained two elaborate hand fans
Many other shaped fans were made in East Asia from the 2nd century BC
