| # 4157. A mid nineteenth century “Candle Fan”. The bronze footed ‘tube’ holds a fan that when removed and attached to the top of the device would be used to protect a ladies make up from the heat of an open fire. 9½” tall. The fan {shown closed in the photo} is very limp and has many edge tears. We have had this item many times in the past; it was produced in a variety of styles {always Gothic} and sizes. On a very small folded piece of paper was included the information: “Grandma Cook’s old fashioned candle shade – given to my mother by her sister Min in 1928 – Eliza M. Hammond.” The metal may have been gilt at one time. Also, there is usually a paper label with name and patent information under the base of the item: it is missing. | Price: $565.00 US Contact: The Dance Card Museum Location: Newport, RI, USA Posted: December 15, 1998 | |

| This tiny fan epitomizes the lovely Victorian style! The fan is handmade of delicate ivory lace. It was carefully folded in to a tiny fan and then fastened at the bottom with festooning ribbons and bows. The satin bow is perfectly accented by a pink satin rose and three tiny mauve rosebuds on thin green stems. The fan is just under 1 1/2″ at its widest point and 1 1/2″ to the bottom of the ribbons. It was fashioned with a backing of some sort of mesh material. It is in absolutely perfect condition. | Price: $25.00 US Location: New York City, NY, USA Posted: November 20, 1998 | |
