A Mid-18th Century Ivory Fan, the monture carved, pierced, gilded and painted, the guards with an elegant lady and detailed floral sprays, the gorge with figures in European dress, seated by buildings, one playing a pipe, the remaining interest supplied by very colourful flowers and foliage. The sticks present an interesting pattern when the fan is closed. The double paper leaf is painted with a gathering in a park, two couples engaged in banter, another young man to the left trying to catch the eye of a young lady dressed in finery and playing with her dog. To the right a fine and formal country park with fountain suggests an elegant residence behind. The verso shows a lady seated by a river.
Guard length 10.5 inches or 26.5cm

Sold for £550
Estimated at £300 - £500
