Artist

Duvelleroy

Duvelleroy is an Impressionism artist. 2 works are cataloged here, principally at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.

This fan-maker filled Paris boulevards with folding screens of silk and paint. You’ll find their hand in works like Eventail plié Les lilas, where watercolor lilacs shiver on ivory sticks, and another piece signed 1878. Their fans show up in costume sketches, too—lace edging, tortoiseshell guards—every one designed to flutter in a ballroom breeze. Step next to the 1900 fan to feel how a single object carried scent, status, and a moment’s cool.
