An Attractive and Highly Gilded Mid-19th Century Mother-of-Pearl Fan, the deep gorge in the Spanish

An Attractive and Highly Gilded Mid-19th Century Mother-of-Pearl Fan, the deep gorge in the Spanish style showing three ladies in voluminous skirts and a gentleman in breeches, detail emphasized by differing shades of gold, and backed by thin white mother-of-pearl. To the sides, and on the guards, some piercing producing flowers and scrolling, which is picked out in blue and pink and green, giving a light and airy touch amongst the strong gilding. The narrow lithographed leaf shows a musical gathering in the garden, the ladies wearing sack back robes and one holding an open fan, another reading. The verso is finished in stronger colours and shows three women and one man gathering flowers or herbs, all wearing berets with a touch of tartan braid, the man with a kilt and sporran made from an animal's mask. The fan opens to a full half circle. Guard length 10.5 inches or 26.5cm

Sold for £180
Estimated at £200 - £300


 

A vibrant fan with strong colour to both monture and leaf, some wear to the folds. Monture in very good order.
