A Circa 1820s Painted Fan, with gold metal monture, the gorge sticks pierced with a regular pattern

A Circa 1820s Painted Fan, with gold metal monture, the gorge sticks pierced with a regular pattern and the guards plain at the bottom and quite ornate with scrolling in the upper sections. Each guard tip benefits from a small oval with glass or similar cover, the upper guard containing a painting of a pansy, the lower guard oval empty. The double paper leaf shows an outdoor scene, with a lake, ancient ruins, mountains and trees, a lady to the foreground dressed in white Grecian robes, accompanied by a dog, a man in white breeches and flowing red cape greeting her as he approaches. The reserves are decorated in gold as is the upper swagged border, with the addition of some tiny colourful flowers. The verso is elaborated decorated with pale gold leaves and classical design.
Guard length 7.5 inches or 19cm

Sold for £320
Estimated at £280 - £350


 

. Some light tarnish to the metal. The leaf has good colour and gold paint bright. From the verso, a small repair to the leaf can be seen at the bottom right. Where the leaf is stuck to the guard to the left, this fold shows signs of additional glue and the first two gorge sticks in seem to have been re-secured at the bottom.
