Seeing the Faberge fan in Kat Max's first post plus the fan held by the Grand Duchess made me realise that we really should have some threads on gemset fans at some stage. I know nothing about them and would love to know more.
I am actually researching gem-set fans at the moment for publication among fan collectors. Most royal ladies had at least one of these fans if not more. They come up for sale occasionally even now but they are usually overlooked completely by jewellery collectors and digging up history on them is not easy.
