England: decorative arts - fashion

fans

Fan seen in a London textiles fair in about 2003.
It had hand-made lace on ivory sticks. Date unknown.
(There were two other images painted on the fan (not of the pipe and tabor),
but the person who took this photograph for me did not take a picture of the whole leaf.)
