  • Pattern: Flamenco Dancers and Bull Fighters
  • Vintage: 1970's - 1980's (estimated)
  • Details:  Fans have been around since Roman times but these hand held - folding fans were introduced in the West during the 17th Century, and quickly became popular.  These were not only great for keeping cool, they also kept bugs and unworthy suitors away.  They also became a fashion accessory, much like a brooch or bracelet, these were decorative pieces of art to be worn and shown.  Today we love them as home decor; whether framed and hung on the wall, opened on a base/stand on a tabletop, used as a backdrop for figurines or other knick-knacks, or several displayed on a wall; fans can create an atmosphere of sophistication, romance, fun, quirky or tropical, Bohemian or Victorian, it just depends on the fan colors and how you want to use them.  These smaller sized fans fit just about anywhere for a pop of color or visual impact.  The leaf is printed cloth, with Flamenco Dancers and Bull Fighters, topped with lace.  They both have very pretty carved gold swirls on the sticks and outside guards, which are made of celluloid, one brown, almost amber and one an off-white, cream color.  These make great gifts for Valentines Day, Mother's day and birthdays.  Pretty for a Grandmillennial or Victorian styled home!
  • Material:  Celluloid and Fabric
  • Dimensions:  Open - approx. 9.0 inches Wide.  Closed - approx. 5.0 inches Long including the lace.
  • Condition: Vintage - Used. Very Good Condition. We could find no issues with either of these fans.  Please review pictures and make sure you love this item before purchasing, we can't accept returns.  Please remember these are ANTIQUE and VINTAGE items, they are NOT new, every effort has been made to show scratches, wear and tear and imperfections.
