Antique
Beaded Hand Screen Fixed Leaf Fan. |
This
pair of antique beaded hand screen fixed leaf fans date from the
early nineteenth century, around 1830. They are made of a lavender
wool needlepoint background with beautiful hand done bead work,
are backed in linen, and are all hand stitched. There is a floral
beaded design done on both fans. They have a turned wood painted
gold handle. This style of fan is called a "screen fan"
or "fixed leaf fan". They were often used while sitting
by the fire to keep the heat off ones face. These matching circular
fans measure 17 1/2 inches tall and are 27 inches in circumference.
They are in good condition with some wear to the gold painted handles
and there are a few missing stitches in the needlepoint work. This
pair of unique early fans are a rare find and a great piece of early
textile art. $400 |
