Antique Mother-of-Pearl & Brussels Lace Folding Fan – Belle Époque – Europe – c. 1880–1900

An elegant antique folding fan dating from the Belle Époque period, circa 1880–1900.

The fan is mounted on finely worked mother-of-pearl guards and sticks, delicately enriched with gilt floral decoration. The leaf is fashioned from exquisite Brussels lace, displaying an intricate floral design and the exceptional craftsmanship for which this celebrated lace was renowned during the late 19th century.

Graceful in both design and execution, the fan embodies the refinement of the Belle Époque and remains a highly decorative object, equally appealing to collectors of antique fans and decorative arts.

Good antique condition with age-related wear. One inner stick is missing and one mother-of-pearl guard has an old repair. The Brussels lace remains well preserved, showing a small area of light age-related staining. Please examine the photographs carefully, as they form an integral part of the description.
