EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures a beautifully crafted fan from Scotland, specifically associated with the town of Brechin, dating back to the 1880s. Made of wood, silk, and metal, this exquisite accessory showcases the intricate craftsmanship and attention to detail that was characteristic of the Victorian era.
The black painted wooden sticks and guards provide a striking contrast to the delicate black silk leaf adorned with gold wire thread embroidery depicting a floral spray on one side. The reverse side features black bombazine fabric, adding depth and texture to this elegant piece.
Measuring at 35.5x64 cm when open, this fan is not only a fashionable accessory but also serves as a historical artifact reflecting the fashion trends of its time. Fans were essential accessories for women during the 19th century, both practical for keeping cool and stylish statement pieces.
Displayed in Glasgow Museums in the UK, this fan is a testament to the artistry and creativity of past generations. It serves as a reminder of how fashion has evolved over time while still retaining elements of beauty and sophistication that continue to inspire us today.
