The Carlton and The Savoy: Five Paper Advertising Fans Relating to London Hotels, three,...

The Carlton and The Savoy: Five Paper Advertising Fans Relating to London Hotels, three, similar but in different colourways, with silver leaves, in fontange form, advertising the Savoy Hotel, London. The remaining two fans advertise the Carlton Hotel. The smaller fan for the Carlton Hotel and Restaurant has a classical air to the design, with a couple in a clearing, the cartouche bordered by laurel leaves, the hotel being named both recto and verso. The final fan is a design by Georges Redon, possible date of 1911, showing the small but alert dog intent on watching the dapper gentleman with his top hat and cane attempting to take some advantage of his mistress. Marked on the verso as made in Paris

Sold for £160
Estimated at £60 - £100


 

. The silver leaf on each Savoy hotel fan remains remarkably shiny, the tope edges all crumple as is the wont of the fontange.: The third fan has small nicks to the folds and some brown marking on some folds. The Redon fan has slight wear to the top of some folds but retains good colour.
