EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a beautifully ornate folding fan adorned with portrait medallions of the iconic French monarchs, Marie Antoinette and Louis XVI. Created by an unknown artist in the 18th century, this exquisite piece is a testament to the opulence and grandeur of the era. The delicate craftsmanship is evident in every detail, from the gouache and watercolor painting on the double silk leaf to the intricate use of brass, silver, metallic thread, ivory, gilding, silver foil, and paste gems. The fan stands at a height of 26.7 cm and is currently housed in the Dallas Museum of Art in Texas. Louis XVI reigned as King of France from 1774 until his deposition in 1792 while Marie Antoinette served as Dauphine of France from 1770 to 1774 before becoming Queen. Their regal portraits captured on these medallions add a touch of elegance and royalty to this already magnificent accessory. With its rich history and decorative allure, this fan represents not only a fashion statement but also serves as a symbol of power and authority associated with monarchy.
