Elegant & Vogue: Chinese Export Fans in the 18th-20th Centuries
Date: Until May 5
Time: 9 a.m.-5 p.m. (Closed on Mondays)
Place: Guangdong Museum
Introduction:
This exhibition shows 163 Chinese fans exported from the 18th to 20th century. Fans were once regarded as indispensable garment ornaments by women in Europe. The export fan was a kind of export handicraft which emerged under the background of the maritime trade between China and the West in the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911). Chinese craftsmen, especially Guangzhou craftsmen, combined the Cantonese craftsmanship with Western aesthetics and created a large number of fans for export. These exquisite fans were relatively cheap, which greatly satisfied the keen desire and demand in the Western market. Therefore, "made in Canton" has become a well-known brand throughout the world.
