Nancy, there's a gilt brass handle for a feather fan in the V&A. It's from
Venice, c1550. Go to the V&A's collections search page at
http://tinyurl.com/5ofgk and enter the handle's museum number - 105-1882.

Does anyone know of any extant 15th or 16th century fans? I am curious as
to materials used as well as techniques. If any are in the V&A, please let me
know as I am planning a visit there.
Thank you,
Nancy Stengel Ulmer
