An Edwardian Fan, the monture lightly carved and gilded, the design on gorge and guards matching, the lattice work further embellished with tiny gold dots in different shades. The cream gauze leaf is mounted à l'Anglaise and overlaid with cream machine lace, the top border slightly proud so that some lace detail can be seen. The central section is painted with colourful birds perched on a flowering branch, to the left a bird in flight, to the right a spray of daisies, tiny gold sequins scattered here and there and silver sequins follow lines formed from couched gold metal thread. Together with a maroon leather covered fan box, with pale pink silk lining, stamped in gold "Paris DUVELLEROY Paris LONDON, 167 REGENT STREET". The verso is plain. Guard length 11.5 cm or 29cm

Purchased at Bonhams London on 3rd October 1979 for £30.
Not Sold

 

Condition: All in good order, box corners very slightly scuffed. A very good quality box with firm clasp. Hard to tell of what the monture is made. First glance, ivory, then, some grain spotted?
