A Rare Austrian Ivory Brisé Fan, Circa 1870's, with sixteen inner sticks and two guards, the guards being embellished with metal and inset with turquoise and garnets. The lower guard is further inset with a painting of cupid within an enamel plaque, the loop particularly ornately shaped and inset with turquoise and garnets. The fan is painted with a tender scene of a couple in the countryside surrounded by sheep and goats. Guard length 8 inches or 20.5cm
These fans were highly praised by Duvelleroy when he saw them exhibited at the World Trades Exhibition in Vienna in 1873. The addition of painting to this type of brisé makes it quite rare.
