A Mid-19th Century Bone Fan, the monture carved, pierced and gilded, the gorge particularly elaborately, in bands of alternating designs. The double paper leaf shows a rural scene, a river with a water mill aside a brisk flowing river, mountains to the rear, and local inhabitants on a boat being watched by another couple from the near bank. The reserves are decorated with classical scrolling and birds in gold. The verso presents a countryside scene with a distant settlement or ruins, several figures dressed in red, perhaps in uniform, making their way across the fields towards it; Together with A Third Quarter 19th Century Bone Fan, the monture lightly carved and pierced and silvered in bands. The double paper leaf is lithographed with a scene of elegantly dressed 18th century couples in a garden, a grand country house behind them, a classical garden statue to the left, on the banks of a river. The reserves are a pale sea-green elaborately decorated in a rose gold. The verso shows a coastal scene with mountains looming across the water.
