RE: [lace] Fan exhibition at Holyrood Palace - Edinburgh
Hello, If this was mentioned I missed it: you can follow links and view the entire exhibition on line. There are notes about the production of the fans, provenance, etc. Not as nice, perhaps, as viewing in person, but very very nice for those of us who haven't a prayer of making it to Edinburgh. http://www.royalcollection.org.uk/eGallery/exhibition.asp?exhibition=FANS There is a (nearly invisible) link on the fan (just below the pink letters) that will take you to five pages of fan images.

Thanks Carolyn for the URL. If it was given before, I missed it. I have spent the past 2 hours looking, enlarging, examining the fans, and still have pages to go! What a neat site and so easy to use.

[lace] Fan exhibition at Holyrood Palace - Edinburgh
Yesterday I accompanied my twins to Edinburgh and while they explored I walked to Holyrood Palace to see the exhibition of fans. Well worth the visit - saw four sizeable lace fans, one of which is a Carrickmacross fan, two Honiton fans and not too sure what the other type of lace is called, vaguely recall it being a continental lace. Lots of other fans executed in different materials and styles, even some using ostrich, jay and other types of feathers. Beautiful postcards of fans on sale in the shop. The girl who was selling tickets to the exhibition told me that the Faberge fans were her favourites, I also thought they were rather special. However the intricate lace fans were breathtaking and done so expertly. One of the Honiton fans had a very dense ground which made the lace look darker and quite solid. The hardback book which accompanied the exhibition was in the hall for reference, and they commented on this fan - can't quite remember what they said. The Carrickmacross fan is so beautiful and since I like this style of lace it is encouraging to see an expert piece up close. A few anxious guards at the exhibition - there is one particular fan which is liberally crusted with diamonds - and the diamonds were not small either!
