Tender Moment: An 18th Century Ivory Fan, circa 1760-1770's, the simple monture with straight gorge

Tender Moment: An 18th Century Ivory Fan, circa 1760-1770's, the simple monture with straight gorge sticks quite lightly gilded and silvered and carved and pierced. The double silk leaf is painted in light, fresh colours on a cream ground, with highlights of yellow, gold and blue. The young couple in the centre sit peacefully together in a country setting, the lady in blue with lace to her elbow length sleeves, her dress with added pleated silk around the cuffs and front skirt panel. Her beau wears a gold waistcoat and breeches and brown jacket. They are clearly at ease with each other. A simple border of sequins separated this scene from the large and quite colourful flower sprays filling the reserves. Simple linear painting of flowers features on the verso. Guard length 27.5cm
Not Sold

 

Most folds have been reinforced from the verso.
