Every 18th century lady needs a fan to keep cool in all of those layers. This sandalwood fan is lightweight and beautifully cut.
The fishing line running through it takes away from the authenticity but for the price it makes a nice gift and would be very entertaining for kids.
I had the feeling these would be light and dainty which is why I ordered 2 of these since I have a little one that does events with us. One got broken in a day, like I had thought, but at least I still had one for when it got really hot! Pretty fan, but wish they were a tad bit more authentic. I’m sure they didn’t have plastic fishing line back then.
