rare Vintage Advertising Fan for Benedictine Liqueur signed Maurice LeLoir c1900. this fan is alos held in the Fan Museum Trust
About:
Folding fan ? wooden monture.
chromolithograph signed
Maurice LELOIR. Floating mid-air, the figure of Fame pours Benedictine
into the glasses of five female figures personifying various nations (a
reference to the origins of the assorted ingredients used within the
'secret' blend?) The Benedictine Palace at Fecamp can be seen in the
distance.
An inscription along the left edge reads: EDITE POUR LES NOCES DE LA BENEDICTINE.
Design inspiration for this fan may have come from a stained glass
window at the Benedictine Palace which features a similar figure of
Fame holding a bottle of Benedictine with the figure of the founder of
the company, Alexandre Le Grand seated below.
LELOIR, Maurice : b. 1853, Paris ? d. 1940, Paris.
Leloir was a gifted artist whose original fan designs were popular
with champagne houses such as Moet Chandon. Leloir was born into a
family of artists ? his mother, Heloise Colin Leloir (1820-1873), was a
noted fashion illustrator while his father, Jean-Baptiste Auguste
Leloir (1809-1892) taught his son to paint from an early age.
Leloir was a founding member and president of both the French
Watercolour Society and the Costume Historical Society. His passion for
historical costume is evident throughout his work which demonstrates
his gift for interpreting historical detail with accuracy and verve.
Leloir led a fascinating career which included a spell working in
Hollywood where, at the request of Douglas Fairbanks, he took the role
of artistic advisor during production of The Man with the Iron Mask.
