This Art Nouveau fan from the Austro-Hungarian period, dating circa 1900–1910, exemplifies the refined craftsmanship of the early 20th century. Its structure is crafted from hardwood in a warm mahogany tone, with thickened end guards adorned by intricate, gilded arabesque motifs typical of the Art Nouveau style. The body is filled with densely arranged, dyed red feathers featuring a matte, natural finish, complemented by a paper layer. The fan is bound by a brass rivet with gentle patina, while visible metal pins secure the feathers to the sticks, ensuring stability despite the piece’s delicate appearance. Measuring 40 cm in height and 50 cm in width, the fan’s proportions lend it a dramatic and decorative presence. The piece remains in very good, authentic condition, showing only minor traces of use expected for an object of its age. This fan seems to evoke the ambience of Secessionist salons—the organic flow of gilded ornament and the vibrant red of the feathers conjure visions of Viennese evenings and the spirit of fin de siècle. The soft texture of the feathers and the lustre of mahogany echo a time when everyday objects carried artistic intent. Its movement, even in the lightest gesture, recalls the transience of a moment and the skill that once defined feminine accessories. As a decorative accent, the fan could be framed deeply and displayed on a living room wall, especially among period furnishings or in an eclectic setting blending Art Nouveau with modern details. It would also suit a dark wood console, accompanied by crystal vases or porcelain curios. Interiors in muted tones allow the intensity of the red and gold to stand out, creating a strong
