European Fans: The Untold Story This beautifully illustrated book explores the fascinating world of European fans, crafted in the French Rococo style in the 18th century and the Rococo Revival style in the 19th century. Sixty-six exquisite examples from the Eurus Collection offer a glimpse into the lives of European royalty and aristocracy, revealing their aesthetic preferences, ideals, and views on nature. The fans on display demonstrate the intermingling of cultures in the newly emerging painting and craft styles that resulted from trade between Europe and the East. Through their intricate designs and assembly, these objects reveal the artistic and cultural exchange of the time. This book invites you to discover the untold stories behind these beautiful and historic objects.
