A Mid-18th Century Bone Cabriolet Fan, the monture painted with simple flowers, leaves and fruits, some of the detail on the guards cut out of the bone to provide additional interest. The gorge sticks may well be of ivory. The double paper leaf panels are painted with various figures in a landscape, involved in different activities. One woman carries a basket of produce on her head. Another laughs with her male companion as she performs her tasks. One is shown as a shepherdess and another has allowed a small bird to perch on her hand. Their detailed costumes are generally highlighted in gold. The verso is simply decorated in green.
Guard length 10.5 inches or 26.5cm.

Provenance: The Lucien Duchet collection. One guard bears a paper label marked "L Duchet" and the upper guard is labelled "62" , these labels being a trait of that collection
Not Sold

 

. One gorge stick to the left is secured to the next one and presumably the leaf has been cut down to suit. The middle panel between leaves at this point has also been given some attention.
