An Early 18th Century Ivory Fan, the monture carved and pierced, and painted in green and blue with

An Early 18th Century Ivory Fan, the monture carved and pierced, and painted in green and blue with hints of gold. The guards each have a carved figure. The gorge is centrally carved with two couples, left unpainted, the woodland background in dark green, a decorative urn in strong blue, the decoration to both sides continuing with the blue which creates a fresh effect along with gold. The vellum leaf, mounted à l'anglaise, shows a finely dressed lady in a vibrant blue open robe with pink skirt, seated in a clearing, picking fruit which is growing from a bush backed by a stone wall. Behind this wall to the right is a young shepherd, his sheep grazing, peeking around the wall to gaze upon the unsuspecting lady. The reserves are predominantly floral with a large urn to the right. The verso is painted with a tree, a stone ruin in the distance. Red stone at the rivet. Guard length 28.5cm

Sold for £120
Estimated at £300 - £500

The upper guard is broken but present. Brown marks to the verso in line mainly with the ribs.
