A Circa 1905 Unusual Bone Fan, of balloon shape, the monture fashioned with a central circular panel as the highest point, the remaining sticks shaped to undulate down and slightly rise for the guards. Open, the monture has a look of a bird in flight, wings outstretched. The guards are clouté with steel dots. The bone sticks are pierced with rolling scrolls that meet with a large roundel, inside which is painted a pagoda, three male Oriental figures present. The pagoda is mainly painted in gold, the figures wearing colourful robes. The shaped double fabric leaf features an oriental lady either side of the rounded monture, one to the left wearing a lilac robe, the one to the right wearing a ginger robe and carrying a wooden bucket. A Chinese lantern of three tiers with a deep tassel hangs centrally, with a top border of swags of colourful flowers intertwined. The verso is relatively plain, a cream ground painted with roses. Overall height when closed 25cm

Sold for £70
Estimated at £70 - £100


 

The leaf has brown staining at the top, left of centre. Further stains are evident from the verso and these can be seen at the left of the recto. Some nicks to upper folds. Loss to the steel dots.
