A Simple 18th Century Bone Brisé Fan, its charm being in its naivety. The twenty-seven inner sticks and one guard are painted in mainly pink and turquoise. The lower guard is plain, the central lady also featuring in the gorge and on the guards. The two side vignettes show simple trees but are noted for their strong turquoise background. Flowers and hearts in embossed gold foil are applied to some of the sticks. The verso uses the same colours but more simply, with a single flower to the gorge and a tree and reeds being depicted in the vignettes. Dark blue silk ribbon. Guard length 24cm. Together with a period red leather tube with hinged lid
Not Sold

 

Paint rubbed. Damage to at least two sticks noted from the verso, to the right. The bone is discoloured, and the upper guard painting is crude. One stick missing first in from the right.
