Verified profile

The wedding destination of this splendid fan is evident from the typically wedding subjects depicted on the front and back: two doves with orange flowers, and the bride's monogram, surrounded by roses and lilacs. The carving, fretwork and engraving of the mother-of-pearl slats are also of exceptional quality. The initials ZL, surmounted by a princely crown, suggest that this fan was made on the occasion of the wedding of Zoe Bibikova, with her first husband Evgenj Lvov. After joining the Desrochers firm in 1849 as a fan decorator specializing in floral subjects and having married the owner's daughter, Felix Alexandre (1823-1887) took over his father-in-law's business, making his fans the most appreciated and sought after in the world. world. Its products, advertised by the charm of Empress Eugenie, met a large following among illustrious customers crowned, from Queen Victoria of England, to Queen Louise of Holland, to the Queen of Spain and the Empress of Russia Maria Fedorovna. Among the reasons for Alexandre's great success, also recognized at the Universal Expositions in London in 1862 and in Paris in 1867, there was the ability to choose collaborators of the highest level, both for the execution of the frames and for the decoration of the pages, also entrusted to famous artists.
