Historical Role of Hand Fans in Royal Courts

Hand fans were not only practical tools for keeping cool in warm weather, but they also served as prominent symbols of social status and etiquette in European and Asian courts. Elaborate fans were frequently painted by hand or inlaid with mother-of-pearl to match formal court attire. During formal gatherings, members of nobility even used subtle fan movements as a coded language to communicate messages discreetly across crowded ballrooms.
