A semicircular lace fan features a cream-colored linen leaf with a central floral medallion in an oval frame. Intricate needle and bobbin lace flowers and foliage flank the center, with a solid lace section at the lower left. Iridescent mother-of-pearl sticks, inlaid with glinting gold and silver floral designs, radiate from a metal loop. The openwork creates a textured lattice against the solid black background.
