An 18th Century Painted Ivory Brisé Fan, the monture pierced quite simply to the gorge but elaborately to the upper section. The central cartouche is painted with two ladies in fine 18th century dress being entertained by a musician in a garden, one reaching up into a tree from which hangs a small birdcage. An oval vignette to the left shows a lady collecting flowers, and to the right a male figure in armour with his hand reaching out to attract her attention. The reserves are densely filled with detail, to include musical instruments, classical urns, panels in Wedgwood style, some highlighted in gold, and a vignette at each side, one with a woman, the other with a soldier. The verso is plain. Guard length approx. 9.75 inches or 23.5cm.

Sold for £300
Estimated at £180 - £250


 

. Good colour. A stick is missing to the left side, the remnants seen adhered to the lower guard. The upper part of the lower guard is plain ivory.
