AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Elegant vintage ostrich feather fan in a peach/papaya tint with a yellowish ivory frame – early 20th century
Description
A chic, dramatic vintage fan crafted with soft ostrich feathers in a delicate peach/salmon shade. The frame, in yellow-ivory, is likely bakelite or period plastic.
The generous size (88×73 cm when open) and the lush plumage give it a strong visual impact, making it ideal for theatrical use, performances, photo shoots, stage costumes, or as a decorative element in rooms with a Hollywood Regency and Art Deco taste.
The object also presents a striking aesthetic impact and is particularly suitable for displays, photo shoots, scenographic settings, or collections dedicated to vintage feminine accessories.
