A Circa 1880's White Mother-of-Pearl Fan, the monture plain save for bevelling to the guard edges. The painted vellum leaf depicts a rather bawdy scene, resulting in a brawl, humorous, in the manner of Hogarth. Rather elegant ladies, dressed in sack back robes to the far left, look on in amusement, fans fluttering, as what had begun as an elegant gathering degenerates into fisticuffs and more. To the sides, musical and theatrical effects. The verso is painted with "Kathleen" in gold, a shamrock to the side, and three cheeky and rather chubby cherub profiles.
Guard length 11.5 inches or 28cm
Not Sold

 

. In good order with good colour.
