Antique French Notions Fan - Large
$28.00
A lovely treasure from the couture houses of Belle Epoque Paris, we were so pleased to find a cache of unused sample cards from a French notions company.
At the turn-of-the-century, the salesmen would visit the couturiers at the fashion houses to impress them with the various notions available to embellish their garments. In the shape of a delicate fan trimmed with various sparkly bits, these cards were produced as a beautiful "leave behind" for the designers to remember what was offered. Trimmed with a bit of ribbon or a small tassel, the fans are also printed with pretty floral sprays, elegant Victorian ladies or sweet kittens. Each fan bears the name Paris, France, along with the word Déposé (Trademarked).
A romantic souvenir of the finery from turn-of-the-century Paris!
Sizes vary. Measures approximately 3.5"H x 6"W. In very good antique condition. The fans and notions vary, please allow us to choose for you!
