A Scarce Example of a Riding Fan, 1875, the guards mounted in carved and incised silver in bold patterns and hallmarked London 1875, Henry William Dee. The sticks are of black leather and continue from the head to the top of the leaf, and are then interspaced with royal blue silk panels. The silver loop has the addition of two chains of differing lengths, one finished with a ring, the other with a square, presumably for attachment to either the riding habit or the horse.
Guard length 8 inches or 20.5cm

Sold for £380
Estimated at £250 - £350


 

. In good order, some slight staining to the silk panels and on a central stick the leather has worn slightly so pale wood can be seen through. This is a very small area of wear.
