The gorge sticks are painted in pairs, the central feature covering four sticks. Guard length 10.75 inches or 27.5cm. A good marriage of periods, the leaf fits well, is clean, and no damage noted. The monture is fresh and in good order.

On the verso, the black cotton can be seen to be strained next to the guard. FAN 3 - Generally sound but the linking thread has come undone so the fan is not holding in two places.
Two Attractive Large Late 19th Century Fans, the montures of mother-of-pearl.

A lady with small child is watching the proceedings. To either side the reserves are richly decorated with scrolling in gold and pink roses, the background of mid green, within which there is a trompe l'oeil of meandering white bobbin lace.

Guard length 10.5 inches or 26.5cm Raphael's Madonna and Child as seen in the National Gallery Collection, also has the tower in the left background. Raphael (1483 - 1520) is thought to have created that work around 1509 - 1511. Raphael does appear to have painted many versions of the Madonna, from around 1503.

One gorge stick is broken but present, detached at the rivet and the shoulder Some of the overlaid MOP is lacking, notably on both guards, as is the backing MOP on one gorge stick. The lower guard has been repaired by means of a silver metal panel. The leaf is generally in good order save for a minute piece of paper top left corner.
