Eventail brisé à la cathédrale is a 1850 unspecified by Unknown, depicting Hand Fan, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This fan is made of light wood with carved patterns along the edges. Brightly painted birds—blue, red, and green—perch on branches with pink flowers. The handle is split into two parts, one painted blue and the other green, with a small metal ring at the bottom. The birds look almost real, with careful details in their feathers and beaks. The fan’s design suggests it might have been used as both art and a practical object. If you like this, look up hand fan to see how fans like this were used around the world.
