A Circa 1850's White Mother-of-Pearl Fan, the monture elaborately carved and pierced, with a figure

A Circa 1850's White Mother-of-Pearl Fan, the monture elaborately carved and pierced, with a figure to the upper guard and several to the gorge, with a classic pastoral scene, one lady seated, with a parasol. The double paper leaf shows a pastoral gathering, a shepherdess with her collie, casting a watchful eye on the young man attempting to remove the ribbon from the bodice of his sleeping female companion. The cream verso is painted simply with flowers in colour and scrolling in gold. Finished with a very elaborate silk tassel embellished with roped threads enclosing large pearl beads, and dangling strands of white beads interspersed with silver. The shaped silver metal loop boasts an opaque stone at the rivet.
Guard length 10.5 inches or 26.5cm

Sold for £250
Estimated at £250 - £350
