This intricate fan, created by L. Stouder around the late 19th century, showcases the delicate artistry of the era. The fan features a mother-of-pearl frame and a meticulously crafted lace overlay, adorned with a central panel depicting angels playing music. This piece exemplifies the trend of combining decorative elements with fine craftsmanship in the creation of functional accessories, which were popular during this period.
