A Late Victorian Fabric Fan, mounted on black wooden sticks, with unusual gold and ice blue decoration, the cream silk leaf printed with a design of fixed and folding fans, a small central depiction of buildings (possibly a Parisian skyline) surrounded by palms, and other exotic foliage. The verso is a plain eau de nil silk satin. Guard length 12.75 inches or 32.5cm. Together with a late 19th century fan of black wood, the monture pierced, the black gauze leaf bordered with black machine lace. Guard length 13.5 inches or 34.5cm (2)

First fan: Purchased at Bonhams on 10th March 1979, one of two fans, for £30.00
Second fan: A present received at Christmas 1979 from Miss Kennedy's friendly neighbours.

Sold for £60
Estimated at £60 - £100


 

The second fan lacks the lower guard and the excess lace at that side has been folded back and secured to prevent it from damage.
