Three Art Deco Fans, or earlier, the first of a single shaped cotton leaf printed with red roses, mounted on wood sticks painted in white. Guard length 8.25 inches or 21cm. The second fan, of fontange form, with double paper leaf printed by Chambrelent, Paris, shows a lady in stylised costume, 20's headdress and large pink ostrich feather fan, with wings outspread behind, giving the appearance of a butterfly. Along the bottom edge of the leaf, the fan states "Lumineux Radian a Bbe S.G.D.G, 23 B'd des Italiens Paris", possibly referring to the patent but a little unclear. Mounted on plain wood sticks, the beige verso has a large blank cartouche, presumably meant for advertising, surrounded by stylised designs. Guard length 7.5 inches or 19cm. The final fan, smaller, and again of printed paper in fontange form, mounted on basic wood sticks, depicts a lady amongst exotic flowers and leaves in Deco style, wearing a white dress, tall hair comb and carrying a matching pink fan. The cream verso advertises "Objets d'Art, A Jeanne D'Arc, Horlogerie, Joallerie and Orfererie (a Goldsmith's shop) in Sète, in the South of France. Guard length 4.75 inches or 11.5 cm, overall height 7 inches or 18cm
