Fans of the Belle Epoque

The exhibition to follow WATERLOO focuses on an entirely different (and relatively peaceful) era... FANS OF THE BELLE ÉPOQUE will seek to evoke the extravagance and theatricality commonly associated with this alluring epoch (c. 1880-1910). The exhibition will feature a spellbinding assortment of exquisitely-crafted fans – the types favoured by wealthy American heiresses and the cream of European society at this time. The very best of the Museum’s collections of late nineteenth/early twentieth century fans will be on show, including lavish examples from the go-to fan makers of the period, DUVELLEROY & KEES; an array of beautifully conceived Art Nouveau confections; exotic feather fans; exuberant designs by gifted painters such as ABBÉMA, LASELLAZ, and BILLOTEY, and even a fan decorated with Faberge enamelling and gold work.
