Descended from the nineteenth-century station roofs, it comes in twelve models of the gesture that dressed Paris between 1880 and 1914.

View this model ](https://marquise-fer.fr/en/models/fan-canopy-station/) ## The fan, king of the Parisian canopy Between 1880 and 1914, Paris fills with fans: the technique of the great station roofs — Saint-Lazare, Orsay — comes down into the street and settles above the doors of town houses and tenement blocks. The principle is an engineer’s: solid iron ribs carrying the load of the glazing back to a common springing, and two S-scroll brackets holding the whole against the wall. The result is an artist’s: a half-rosette that catches the morning light. ## Recognising a genuine fan Three details separate a craftsman’s fan from a cold-bent industrial copy. The **springing of the ribs**, forged in one mass and never bolted. The **scalloped edge**, cut and then filed by hand, whose undulations are alive. And the **brackets**, whose section tapers towards the scroll. These are exactly the three points the Architectes des Bâtiments de France look at in protected areas in France — and the ones our reproductions respect. ## Which façade it suits The fan calls for mouldings: cornices, string courses, dressed surrounds. It belongs on 1880-1930 façades, it lifts a manor house, it gives structure to a Haussmann block. On a very plain or rural building, the [flat canopy](https://marquise-fer.fr/en/collections/flat-door-canopies/) is the truer choice; for a door on a street corner, see the [corner canopies](https://marquise-fer.fr/en/collections/corner-door-canopies/). **To place the prices:** our [door canopy price guide](https://marquise-fer.fr/en/prices/) breaks down every item, and the [Le Fer Forgé guide](https://le-fer-forge.fr/guides/prix-marquise-fer-forge/) sets them against the French market (in French).
