Fan 1875 - 1885

"Fan," a delicate hand fan created by Aman Cyb between 1875 and 1885, exemplifies the artistry of 19th-century craftsmanship. This small, yet intricately designed fan, currently residing at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is a testament to the meticulous attention to detail that characterized this period. The fan's surface features a delicate painted design, likely inspired by classical themes, capturing the beauty of the Rococo era. It would have been a coveted accessory for fashionable individuals in the late 19th century, serving both a practical purpose and a symbol of refinement and social status.
