EDITORS COMMENTS
This panel from the Kirk Collection of Bygones, displayed at the York Castle Museum, showcases ten exquisite ladies' fans from the late 18th century. Among these historic treasures, the second fan from the top right, boasts a remarkable provenance. Painted in Neapolitan style, this fan once belonged to Queen Charlotte, the beloved wife of King George III. The fan, dated 1779, is a testament to the refined taste and elegance of the era. Queen Charlotte, a German princess by birth, was known for her patronage of the arts and her love for music, dance, and fashion. Her influence extended to her personal belongings, such as this fan, which reflects the opulence and sophistication of the royal court. The intricate design on the fan, with its vibrant colors and intricate patterns, is a visual feast for the eyes. The Kirk Collection of Bygones is a unique and extensive collection of historic objects, amassed over several decades by the late Mr. and Mrs. Kirk. The collection, which includes over 10,000 items, spans various periods and themes, providing a fascinating insight into the social, cultural, and historical context of different eras. This panel of fans, with its regal addition, offers a glimpse into the world of the 18th century, a time of grandeur, luxury, and artistic expression. The panel, along with the rest of the Kirk Collection of Bygones, is now preserved and showcased at the York Castle Museum, offering visitors a chance to explore the rich history of the past and appreciate the beauty and craftsmanship of these bygone treasures.
