Other than perhaps fan #1, which might work for the 1790s, too.<br /><br />Very best,<br /><br />NatalieZipZiphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04088551086336264968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7953319607326764763.post-54616034163842292132013-02-18T09:31:29.296-08:002013-02-18T09:31:29.296-08:00My favorite is 5, but 3 and 1 are close seconds. :...My favorite is 5, but 3 and 1 are close seconds. :)Kiyoteahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04370460971265380911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7953319607326764763.post-85480624549497098342013-02-18T08:42:44.579-08:002013-02-18T08:42:44.579-08:00I have a particular love of fans and number 5 had ...I have a particular love of fans and number 5 had it for me - it's all about the rococo curves!

The shell on 3 is especially lovely. <br />I'm not an expert on the different periods of fans, but I think size comes into play when one is considering using one fan for different eras. The early 19th c. fans were small-ish.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7953319607326764763.post-8471737951733437062013-02-18T05:07:10.484-08:002013-02-18T05:07:10.484-08:00Very tough vote! 3 and 5 are my favorite but my vo...Very tough vote! 3 and 5 are my favorite but my vote was 5 :)Brittany_Va-VoomVintagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04377031677999463069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7953319607326764763.post-49012094040240506542013-02-17T21:49:36.868-08:002013-02-17T21:49:36.868-08:00They are all very beautiful, but I would have to s...They are all very beautiful, but I would have to say #1 and #3 are my favorite.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16398320857752040965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7953319607326764763.post-44404433058483012432013-02-17T19:36:27.333-08:002013-02-17T19:36:27.333-08:00Those are ALL so beautiful, I kind of wanted to vo...Those are ALL so beautiful, I kind of wanted to vote for them all... I did limit myself to the lightest ones though.

While I love the Victorian dark one, the 18th c one is all "sticks" and what sticks!!! They look to be ivory or bone, and beautifully proportioned.<br />Great idea!<br />Best,<br />Auntie NAuntieNanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11202319448791012747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7953319607326764763.post-56893872392018661482013-02-17T18:03:50.743-08:002013-02-17T18:03:50.743-08:00I included 3 in my vote, but I just wanted to add ...I included 3 in my vote, but I just wanted to add (not that it's important) that I love the sequined Neoclassical revival fans best when they're <a href="http://www.metmuseum.org/Collections/search-the-collections/80107577" rel="nofollow">just sequined</a>, without a picture.<br /><br />Also: exciting!Cassidyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03596345781746342408noreply@blogger.com
