Alenson needle lace fan “Garlands of Flowers”, Ed Creussy Paris

 

The leaf is made of beige needlepoint lace; the density and quality of the embroidery suggest it originates from the French town of Alencon.

Frame is made of light-coloured “blonde” tortoiseshell. One guard stick bears a silver monogram. Whilst the other is engraved with the name of the fan maker: Ed Creussy Paris.
