Two mid-19th century bone fans, lithographed, both lightly carved and gilded, comprising a paper fan with double leaf, with a central scene of two ladies in 18th century dress accompanied by a gentleman in long red waistcoat, one lady picking grapes from a vine. The reserves are printed with stylised flowers and swags. The verso with a dramatic dark blue ground, is printed in gold and shows countryside activities of harvesting the grapes with barrels in the central cartouche. Guard length 9.5 inches or 24cm.
Together with a fan of similar format, the central panel showing a musical gathering in perhaps medieval times, the musician playing a harp. The reserves, in strong dark blue, are printed with classical designs in gold, the verso continuing this colourway, with musicians gathered around a tiered fountain. Guard length 10.75 inches or 27.5cm

Sold for £70
Estimated at £80 - £150


 

. The first fan has a repair to the upper guard at the shoulder, and slight damage to the leaf at this point. Slight wear to the folds. The central panel unusually appears to be applied. The second fan has some splitting to the folds and repairs in two places where the ribs and gorge meet, noticeable from the verso.
