A Large Mid-19th Century Mother-of-Pearl Fan in the Spanish style, the sticks very heavy and wide, gilded, the leaf very slim, the sticks containing a central painting of two women and two young children.

The double paper leaf shows outdoor gatherings with dogs, to the left a woman, quite regally dressed in red robes, greets others. To the right, a similar group, this time with a gentleman wearing red costume. The verso is a simple painting of the countryside. Guard length 32.5cm, gorge shoulder 5cm at the widest part. Together with a sturdy fan box covered in cream silk, the inside lid and body both padded with silk

Sold for £100
Estimated at £120 - £180


 

Requires almost full restoration, virtually all the sticks are either broken or weak, one stick is missing, one small piece from a stick available. The central painting is in good order, the leaf is rubbed.
