The double silk leaf, in cream, is mounted with a leaf in handmade Mixed Brussels lace, the major part in bobbin applique with a top border featuring needlelace; A Smaller Early 20th Century Lace Fan, of Bruges Bobbin lace, not backed, mounted on bone sticks which have been painted where flowers feature; and A Third Fan, the bone monture carved and pierced with roundels, the black gauze leaf, mounted à l'Anglaise, applied with a floral spray of Brussels bobbin lace. Guard lengths 28.5cm, 22cm and 23cm respectively (3)

Sold for £90
Estimated at £60 - £100


 

Mixed Brussels fan, the gorge is missing a stick. The Bruges fan appears in good general order, and the applique fan has some slight loss to the delicate piercing, with four of the gorge sticks being reinforced from the verso
