Ostrich feather fan, circa 1895, black feathers that are smooth to the touch. Perhaps the typical "ruffle" of the ostrich feathers has been trimmed to give the fan a certain elegance, but also austerity. Rods made from "false" tortoiseshell. Cover stick with a small gold-colored crown. Very good condition. Only one "eye" on the bow has been lost. This does not affect the functionality of this very beautiful fan. Provenance: Princess Alice of Monaco (1858-1925). By inheritance to the Marquis and the Marquise de Amodio y Moya. The fan was purchased in Switzerland in 2015. The decoration is not included.
