Fan  –  hand embroidered brooch

Feather screen.
M&L x Galliera Paris Museum
Limited edition brooch.
Size: about 3,9x7cm

What a pleasure it is to visit the treasures of the Galliera collections, to take out unique pieces, which make the history of French clothing, and to take them back with our high fashion hand embroidery.

Our brooch is inspired by a folding fan dating from 1920, made of dyed goose and ostrich feathers.

The Palais Galliera holds a rich collection of over 2,000 fans dating from the 18th to the 20th century. Fashion fans, news fans, advertising fans, feather fans... Anonymous or signed by the greatest painters and fan-makers, this accessory has undergone many changes in terms of both size and decoration, often following the decorative arts trends of the period.

The embroidery on our brooches is entirely hand made with bullion thread, as to an ancient Indo-Pakistani technique.
