Balloon-shaped fan, white lace leaf with mechanical lace applied to tulle, decorated with flowers and dots applied with phosphorescent paint.

Invention and patent by Fernand Sauvagé through his company Radiana, filed on January 31, 1922.

The sticks and guards are bone.

Good condition.

H: 21.5 cm at the guard (max 32 cm).

The luminous effect in the dark lasts only a few seconds.
