This time it's about a specific type of fan popular during the Regency, called a brisé fan. Check out the article and let me know what you think. _________________

Any one of those fans I would love to have in my collection. I have several in my collection that perhaps are from the Regency period. This one the seller said was plastic from the 1920s, but I don't think it is plastic: This one the seller said was blond horn with steel sequins from 1815-1820: _________________

Do you know approximately how long it took for one to be made? _________________

Wish I could be there to see them in person. MizMac, I have no idea how long it would take to make one of those fans with the feathers. I know it would take me forever! _________________

Me too Candice but they are so beautiful, so, I take it there were actually arisians that just made fans in the regency era?? _________________
