Tea in the Garden: A Mid to Late 18th Century Ivory Fan, the slim sticks simply carved and silvered, the top section of the guards wider. The double paper leaf shows a maid bringing refreshments to couple in the garden dressed in 18th century finery, the lady wearing a blue open robe, pink petticoat and lace to her neck and elbow length sleeves, the gentleman in a long dull red jacket over a blue waistcoat, and dark cream breeches. This vignette is bordered in gold, as are ovals to each side, each containing elaborate gold urns. The gold highlighting is repeated elsewhere on the leaf, with swags to the top border and blue carnations and red flowers throughout. The leaf is entirely bordered in a deep green. The verso is plain save for a simple spray of pink roses and blue and lilac wild flowers. Guard length 27cm
Not Sold

 

The tip of the lower guard has minor loss. The folds are rubbed. One tiny piercing to the leaf seen from the right on the verso.
