Setting Sail: An 18th Century Ivory Fan, with carved guards in a classical style with two figures and a bust, the gorge simply carved with a broad band under the leaf, with a house and several couples in costume, possibly dancing. Fitted with mother of pearl thumb guards. The velum leaf, mounted à l'anglaise, depicts a galleon leaving port, flags flying, possibly the French flag aloft? To the right, a lady feeding chickens outside her home, a spaniel begging for attention. To the left, a couple conversing, close to a stone tower, archway, and crumbling wall and a man and his dog watching the progress of the galleon and smaller sailing ships. The verso depicts a man in the fields close to a small cottage with smoke coming out of the chimney. Guard length 26cm

Sold for £600
Estimated at £300 - £500


 

A large metal plate repairs the lower guard. Some rubbing to the leaf folds.
