I typed those words into google and it told me it is faux ivory. I didn't
expect it to be made of very precious things although it must have been very
pretty when it was new, and wondered what the equvalent of todays plastic
would have been and maybe this answers my question.
I put an extra couple of photos up in my album, one showing the fan sort of
open and another one close up of a piece of the floral decoration. When I
went to put it away I noticed that one of the tips of the fan sticks has
been broken, so I will have to consider carefully before I use them again.
No point spending hours making lace which shows up the broken stick unless
it and the rest can be sheathed into something for the lace to stitch too
that might look to be part of the fan, but probably not worth all that
effort. I am still interested to understand more about the fan, ie sort of
age and time in history it would have been used. I am a fan, no pun
intended, of elegant beautiful clothing and the history surrounding them.

Hello Malvary,
could you please explain me what French Ivory is? I knew only ivory.
Thank you
