18th century fan

This was a splurge from a few years ago. The fan is circa 1770, French. It's painted silk with ivory sticks, leaf, spangles, and embroidery.

The fan also came with a really nice  frame, which it's in now - I took the pics before putting it safely under glass!

Actually here is a picture of it in the frame:
