Two 1850's to 1860's Wood Fans, both carved and pierced and clouté in silver. The monture on the first fan also benefits from painted panels in white and green, delicate flowers and leaves giving lightness to the gorge. The double paper leaf is lithographed and shows a large group in fine 18th century dress, some dancing, some reading, others strolling. A young girl in the foreground has gathered flowers, and a group of observers hover to the right. The reserves feature a mix of pastel flowers and gold highlights. The verso is relatively plain with simple flower sprays and gold highlights. The shaped loop in gold metal holds an elaborate tassel in pink silk knotted with gold threads. Guard length 10.5 inches or 27cm. The second fan has a cream silk leaf embroidered with silver sequins and spangles which complement the bands of silver within the sticks, the circular carving matching the embroidered circles on the leaf. The verso is plain. Guard length 10.5 inches or 27cm

Sold for £110
Estimated at £80 - £120


 

. The first fan is in good order. The sequin fan has a repair to the upper guard at the shoulder and the first stick in from the left is stuck to the lower guard.
