An 18th Century Chinese Carved White Mother-of-Pearl Fan, Qing Dynasty, mounted with a double paper

An 18th Century Chinese Carved White Mother-of-Pearl Fan, Qing Dynasty, mounted with a double paper leaf depicting an oriental scene of ladies in colourful and intricate robes waiting by water whilst a junk approaches, perhaps delivering supplies for the habitation to the right. Another junk floats to the left, and across the other side of the river several buildings can be seen with a mountain range in the distance. The verso is delicately painted with a variety of flowers. The gorge sticks are intricately carved with figures and foliage, the guards less so

Sold for £280
Estimated at £80 - £150


 

The monture is broken in several places. The top half of the lower guard is broken off but present, probably missing a shaped sliver. Several small tears to the leaf. Good colour
