A Mid 18th Century Ivory Fan, the carved and pierced guards and gorge painted and highly decorated and gilded. The guards are carved with a couple and a further figure. The gorge is ornate, sticks in pairs, also with figures. The double paper leaf is divided into three scenes, the central scene of wealthy people out hunting, a man with a dead bird walking away from the others, an encampment scene on the opposite riverbank, with a rowing boat full of men making its way across the river towards it. To the left is a stage with musicians playing, being watched by couples out for a stroll. The scene to the right is of locals next to the river bank, boats on the water, one man on a horse. The verso has a simple central scene of a couple seated close to an arbour, reserves in a plain dark cream, the whole with a floral border. The gorge is well decorated. Guard length 29cm

Sold for £380
Estimated at £350 - £500
