Hello Martina and everyone The first fan that you describe is what I know as a 'fir-tree fan' - another name is a Spanish fan, also palm or feather fan.
The other could be a shell fan , or French fan, and in French, they say 'coquille' (scallop, I think. A scallop in English describes a scooping line, like the curved fan, and the scallop is also the name of an edible shellfish, the shell of which is 'scallop-shaped').
