Brisé Fan

£12.50

Description

The earliest brisé fans were discovered in Japan. Today they are one of the most popular types of fan, made only of decorative sticks without a leaf. The French term brisé roughly translates as ‘broken’. The sticks are typically carved or pierced and held together by a ribbon glued to each stick or threaded through pierced openings.

This delicately designed fan is a perfect light-weight article to carry around on the go.
