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.

“Over the years, I’ve incorporated many pieces from PAGODA RED into my designs. Not only can they balance new furnishings (and often new construction) by feeling more established, but the pieces emanate a sense of rich history, often leaving you wondering where they were in a previous life. These beautiful pieces carefully hand-selected by the team at PAGODA RED, coupled with their unbelievable customer service, make them a must-have for any home.”
