A Mid to Late 18th Century Ivory Fan, the monture gilded, the upper section of the guard inlaid with dots leaving much of the ivory showing, the lower section gilded in a plain line to complement the linear gilding to the gorge sticks, which alternate with more decorative and serpentine design. Diamantés to the rivet. The double silk leaf shows a well-dressed 18th century couple seated in a classical setting, the lady all in pink, wide pleats trimming the front edge of her open robe, her elbow length sleeves adorned with lace engageantes. The gentleman, who appears to be playing a recorder, wears a long blue jacket with yellow waistcoat and orange breeches. The lady wears a tiara and has a basket on her knee. Vignettes to their side feature decorative vases and roses. The reserves are filled with sequins and flowers, in strong blues and pink, matching the clothes of the central couple. The verso is simply painted with sprays of flowers. Guard length 27cm

Sold for £100
Estimated at £100 - £200


 

Some folds are rubbed. There are losses to the gilding. The verso shows that most leaf folds have been restored.
