The history of Asian hand fans stretches back to the time of antiquity. For thousands of years, Asian hand fans have served the dual purpose of cooling their bearers while being an ornament and status symbol. Through the centuries, hand held fans have been constructed of various materials, the most popular being paper, silk and cotton. Beautiful decorative art work usually embroiders hand held fans, either on the main flap of the fan or on the frame that holds it. In ancient China, Chinese hand fans were used in accordance with the social status of a person, and particular genders would use different hand fans. Around 1600 in Europe, the Asian hand fan was introduced from the Orient. Many European women carried Chinese hand fans with them and used them for different social signals, as well as to cool them off on hot days and make a fashion statement. Today, people from all walks of life enjoy using Asian hand fans – crafted with an almost infinite number of attractive designs.
