A Mid-18th Century Ivory Fan, the monture carved and pierced, silvered and gilded. The guards and gorge sticks are further decorated with miniature paintings of flowers within ovals, and highlighted with gold. The double paper leaf shows a gentle countryside gathering of friends and family, partaking in the leisure activities of the day, with flower gathering, caged birds released, and dogs at play. The top border and reserves are intricately and delicately painted in pink and blue highlighted in gold. The verso is more naively painted with a very rural scene, two women pausing to pass the time of day. The gorge sticks on the verso are decorated with pink paper panels which span two sticks, painted with tiny flowers and edged with gold.
Guard length 10.5 inches or 27cm

Sold for £600
Estimated at £800 - £1,200
