If you go to the fan museum in Greenwich London when they are displaying
the lace fans (you will have to check with them as they are not always
on display) you will see plenty of lovely lace fans that were actually
made to be used. Unlike mine that sit in tissue paper in a box. I highly
recommend this museum at any time but when the lace fans are out it is
spectacular.
Thank you very much for writing, Sue. I would like to see this museum:
I love lace and I love visiting museums, so this is a winner!
But I don't find it so easy to get out these days, so I 'googled' to
find the museum's website:
http://www.fan-museum.org/
I looked at some of the pages quickly, (and I will certainly spend some
time reading the information), but I couldn't see any images of early
fans made with lace.
Although I must admit that the painted ones are very beautiful indeed.
Does anyone know of any images on-line of antique lace fans? It would
be interesting to see if there differences in their design.
With best wishes,
