Peacock Feather Fan Hand-Painted Limoges Box
Peacock feathers spread into a graceful hand fan on this porcelain box, each eye marked in deep blue and green. It is a hand-painted porcelain Limoges box, decorated in Limoges, France, that joins a bird subject with a lady's fashion accessory.
Fanned Out in Jewel Tones
Peacock feathers have been prized for their color since ancient times, and the fan was once an essential part of an evening at the opera or the ball. Here the two meet, with the shimmering eyes of the feathers arranged in an elegant arc.

Belle of the Ball
Set it on a vanity, a dressing table or a mirrored tray beside perfume bottles, where the blue and green tones can catch the light. It is a fine present for a woman who loves vintage fashion, a costume designer, or a friend whose favorite colors are peacock blue and emerald. The jewel tones read beautifully under a curio cabinet light.
