Celeste Take Away Fan

Duvelleroy made its debut at a ball given by the Duchess de Berry in 1827; the hostess reportedly carried a mother-of-pearl fan and the evening’s festivities featured a quadrille that could only be danced with a fan in hand. In the years since, the maison’s fans have graced the hands of queens, empresses, and society darlings. Take one look at this delicate hand fan—done in raw oakwood and hand-pleated, palest blue cotton—and you’ll understand the enduring appeal of these exquisite accessories. Compact and easy to carry, it’s finished with a gold-tone clasp and tips and set on a cotton cord—the perfect plus-one for a hot, humid day.
