Hand-Held Fan ~ Palju

The “Palju” is a traditional Maltese handheld fan made with hand woven cane, widely used by men in the 20th century. Victor Azzopardi has come up with an innovative design to blend two ancient Maltese crafts: silversmithing and cane weaving, thus creating an artefact that portrays simplicity in the form of luxury and which reflects the fusion of past and present. The fan is functional and practical to use and makes an ideal keepsake gift that will last through time
