Orange Ostrich Feather Fan, 1920s #eveningdress Waist: ~ 60 cmA boudoir fan consisting of three orange and white ostrich feathers. Fans of this type were playful accessories, serving less as a fan of air. In the 1920s, people also began to experiment with feather fans. Green fans are very rare. Over the years, the designs evolved and reflected current fashion trends, but the orange feather fan remained a prized and rare collector's item. Very well preserved.
