A Mid-19th Century Ivory Fan, the carved and well-shaped monture gilded in two shades of gold. The guards, shaped to fit a rather narrow lithographed leaf, feature a roundel and a further panel containing a cornucopia. The gorge sticks continue the bold construction, each being pierced to accommodate a band of roundels which give an almost cabriolet effect. The gorge, sticks, in pairs, feature cornucopia and flowers. The double paper leaf shows a group of ladies in Arcadian style, pastel colours being enlivened by splashes of blue, and featuring a fountain with cherubs and grand buildings in the background. Shaped gold metal loop. Mounted in a fan shaped wood case, and glazed.
Guard length approx. 10.25 inches or 26cm.

On the verso of the fan case, various notes track the fan's recent history, from a purchase in 1994 in auction in Crewkerne, to further auction in Leyburn in 2005
