[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 3547303, member: 2844"]Stunning fans [USER=11767]@Sdcookie2[/USER] , very good quality, both look 18th century.:) Agree, it is a Montgolfière fan, a collector's piece. Looks like that one is wood with Vernis Martin. Caution! I don't know how Vernis Martin will react to lighter fluid etc. Montgolfière fans were made in several countries, and often bought as a souvenir of a balloon ride. There are quite a few Grand Tour Montgolfières, with scenes from Italy for instance. I have, but it is not completely done. They also stuck quite a few painted blades together.:inpain::bigtears: So it is actually wider than in the photo you posted. The only delay is that I keep forgetting to order lighter fluid.:shame: Off to do that now.[/QUOTE]
