EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite print captures the intricate beauty of a folding fan from the 18th century. The fan, adorned with a chinoiserie scene, portraits, pastoral figures, and still lifes, is a true masterpiece of French craftsmanship. Made from ivory and embellished with gilding, mother-of-pearl, glass or rock crystal, and paste gem accents (added later), it exudes luxury and opulence. Displayed at the Dallas Museum of Art in Texas as part of The Wendy and Emery Reves Collection, this fan is a testament to the artistry of the French School during that era. Its rococo style showcases ornate decoration and attention to detail. Fans were not only fashionable accessories but also decorative objects in their own right. This particular folding fan stands out for its combination of various elements - from delicate portraits to vibrant still lifes - all seamlessly integrated into one harmonious design. The chinoiserie scene adds an exotic touch to this already captivating piece. It transports us to another time and place while highlighting the fascination with Oriental aesthetics prevalent during that period. Overall, this print invites us to admire both the skillful craftsmanship behind this folding fan and its role as an object d'art in enhancing fashion ensembles or adorning luxurious interiors.
