The Banishment of Hagar and Ishmael: An 18th Century Ivory Fan, with upper guards carved and pierced, the slender gorge sticks pierced. The upper guard is carved with a lady, the lower guard with a man, matching carving of perhaps a sunflower beneath each. The vellum leaf, mounted à l'anglaise, shows Hagar and Ishmael leaving the home of Abraham, the boy's father, as his wife Sarah had demanded. To the left, a further vignette of a landscape, to the right a classical stone ewer. The verso is painted with a simple flower spray. Guard length 26.5cm

Sold for £150
Estimated at £180 - £220


 

One gorge stick is lacking a section but the stick is currently holding. The leaf is rubbed on the folds. The verso is quite stained and some ribs have been re-glued.
