This fan depicts flamenco dancers and bullfighters on lightweight fabric, with hand-painted gold swirl detailing on the lacquered wood guards.
A romantic gift for Valentine's Day or Mother's Day, framed and hung on the wall or displayed open on a stand.
Folding hand fans arrived in the West in the 17th century, prized as much for fashion as for cooling — a tradition this Valencian-style piece carries beautifully into home decor today.
Pairs beautifully with our other Spanish-style hand fan and our framed Renaissance silk print for a romantic, old-world wall display.
