Decorative Fan for a Gift: What Does It Mean and Where to Buy?

Decorative Fan for a Gift: What Does It Mean and Where to Buy?

Collection of antique fans in frames "Blow the wind", 19th century Fans occupy a special position in human culture, don't they? Long before our era, they appeared in India, China, and then crossed the sea and ended up in Japan. It was the Far Eastern countries that were the first to set the trend for fans. And only in the 17th century did traders from this region bring these accessories to Europe. Also, thanks to inventors from the Far Eastern countries, fans immediately became something more than just protection from the sun. They quickly turned into a luxury item, and only aristocrats and people of royal blood could buy and wear fans.

We must also pay tribute to the Japanese, Indians and Chinese in that they were the first to notice the elegance of the fan. But it is also worth noting the combat analogues of this accessory. Eastern military leaders could  protect themselves with their help not only from the sun, but also from a sword or even an arrow. However, such fans were used as offensive melee weapons, and to transmit military commands to army units. Women of the French Gallantry era began to send completely different signals with the help of these accessories. It was with them, as well as the "fan language" developed by the ladies, with which they flirted, that this wonderful thing began to be associated.

Fan as a gift: meaning

Gift fan "Gold ornament" from Anframa (hand gilding)As you already understood from the story, this accessory – is not only a means of salvation from the heat. A luxurious fan – is practically a decoration that will emphasize and add elegance and a certain coquetry to any girl. Therefore buying a fan as a gift – is a win-win option to express your feelings for your loved one.

The Fama online store boasts chic decorative handmade fans that you can purchase. Some of them are made by craftsmen from the Spanish brand Anframa. Their works are made in the rare technique of «Damascineage». Its essence lies in the fact that the master manually applies patterns to metal using another metal. The result is an unsurpassed beauty that will definitely reach the heart of your beloved woman.

Fans have acquired cult status since ancient times. Ordinary people, especially slaves, could not use them, only noble persons. Although, thank God, with the democratization of society, such restrictions have disappeared, you can only give such a thing to a special person in your life. Such luxurious presents, such as, for example, handmade fans from Anframa, are not given just like that. Such gifts are also a kind of "fan language", which is used to declare love.
