A Mid-19th Century Bone Fan, with wide sticks and guards, all carved and pierced but unadorned. The gorge carving, mainly of flowers, is on a large scale, complementing the size of the central carving of three ladies in fine detailed 18th century costume, with large hats and elbow length sleeves from which lace engageantes protrude. This carving is backed with burgau. The double paper leaf recto/verso shows a similar scene of a social gathering in the countryside, but where the participants on the recto appear to be country folk with a goat and sheep around them, the verso presents perhaps a slightly higher social level with more refined costume. Guard length 27cm

Sold for £40
Estimated at £40 - £60


 

The guards in particular would benefit from cleaning. Some slight marking to the verso and slight scuffing to the leaf, which is also rubbed on the folds.
