Among China’s aristocracy, fans were symbols of taste and status. They could be used to enhance a person’s gestures: ladies used fans as props to highlight their beauty and grace, while learned scholars would fan themselves idly to demonstrate deep thoughts. Deng Ying - a contemporary Chinese artist from Beijing—painted this fan with a whimsical, colorful scene she calls "At the Park 2." Her contemporary style contrasts beautifully with the traditional design of the fan.

“PAGODA RED was extremely supportive in helping to pull accessory options together for the Lake Forest Showhouse. After providing them with details and our vision on how we were looking to finish our space, Laurene helped curate options that made it easy for us to edit and finalize. It's also no surprise that the unique pieces we used in our showhouse space were some of the first to sell.”
