Brisé fan of paste board covered with silk, decorated with straw appliqué work, probably made in Florence, 1620s. Brisé fan of seven sticks, each one shaped to represent a curled feather. Cut straw, applied to silk covered cardboard. The sticks are made of rigid paste board, reinforced with fine metal rods or wires and covered in green silk decorated on both sides of high-quality appliquéd straw and cut roundels of gold paper. The sticks are kept together by a green silk ribbon. The straw veneers have been cut into shapes of flowers and birds, whose plumage are cut frayed. The straw tail and crown of peacocks are cut to show blue and red silk on one side of the fan, which is most likely the front. A coat of arms is displayed on the central stick, of what probably is the front, made of gold paper, pale blue silk and cut straw. Cut straw applied to silk covered cardboard, reinforced with metal rods, decorated with gold paper and silk.
