[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 4354599, member: 2844"]It is a Spanish fan, late 20th to early 21st century. The frame is faux mother-of-pearl, which is basically a pretty plastic. The leaf is hand painted. This is an example of a nice quality modern fan, inspired by 18th and 19th century fans. Many Spanish ladies still use similar fans, as does yours truly. Mine has a classic Goya scene, often painted on contemporary Spanish fans, but yours has a detail of my favourite El Greco painting, which [USER=20118]@LauraGarnet02[/USER] already found.[/QUOTE]
