Lot 252
A Friendly Gesture: A Circa 1780's Mother-of-Pearl Fan, with sticks in the form known as ''battoire''. This monture is most heavily carved and gilded, with elaborate piercing to the gorge. Carved ovals of various sizes have been combined to present various male figures in 18th century dress, together with background lattice work and floral detail. The double paper leaf, presented in quite autumnal colours, in particular dark green, shows a couple and their son outside in the garden next to a simple table covered in a white cloth. They are joined by another man carrying a tall silver lidded tankard, presumably wishing to share a beverage with his friends. The lady in pink, her arm around her husband's shoulders, pushes an empty glass towards the new arrival. All are attired quite formally in 18th century dress, the men in long jackets and breeches, waistcoats and sashes, the boy in red. To the left, a lady plays outside with perhaps the same child, certainly wearing red, his mother this time dressed in blue. To the right, the child has changed to red breeches and a brown jacket with green waistcoat, the lady to blue and mauve and possibly doing some embroidery. The leaf is bordered in dark green, relieved in the reserves with garlands and groups of colourful flowers. Four classical oval vignettes, however, painted in near black, bring back some of the more formal feel to the leaf. The verso is lightened to the sides with large colourful flowers. To the centre, a lone gentleman has crossed water to an island and, next to some ruins, he raises his gun at birds flying overhead. Guard length 26cm. Together with an 18th century fabric covered boxthe monture has been damaged with obvious losses to three sticks. The guard is broken. Losses to the sequins. The gilding is now quite dull, and there are definite losses in particular to the lower guard. Another gorge stick has been repaired with a panel seen from the verso.
Lot 253
Tenderness: A Late 18th Century Ivory Fan, the monture carved and pierced, gilded and silvered. The gorge, with slender sticks, is carved and pierced alternately with regular designs which are then gilded and silvered. The upper guard section is carved with a figure. The vellum leaf, mounted à l'anglaise, shows a couple in 18th century dress, in a classical setting, a terracotta urn with a grey profile on a pedestal to the side, the lady wearing a blue open robe with cream petticoat, her beau dressed in a long dark red jacket and cream waistcoat and breeches. The couple are looking deeply into one another's eyes as the gentleman presents a posy of pale pink roses to his lady. Vignettes to the side feature an urn and grapes and a basket and sunhat. The verso is plain save for a small painting of a lady dressed in grey, seated on a rock. Guard length 28cmThe leaf is very slightly foxed. The lower guard has been broken and repaired.
Lot 262

A central painting shows a seated lady enjoying the attentions of a kneeling man, offering flowers and ribbons (a proposal?) and a winged cherub above about to place a white hat on her head. The verso is vellum, painted with a dog bringing a letter to a young lady in its mouth. Guard length 28cmOne broken centre gorge stick with section missing. Leaf folds worn and some slight damage to border. Broken guard

The verso shows a gathering of young couples, also in dress from a previous period, a boy bringing refreshments. Guard length 26cm (2)Fan 1 - loss to some of the gilding foil .

Lot 471
Birds and Butterflies: A Mid-18th Century Ivory Fan, with slender sticks, the upper section of the guards wider and carved with a flower. The gorge is both painted and pierced, the piercing simple with leaves and curves, a shaped lozenge painted centrally edged in gold and containing tiny brown leaves and delicate blue flowers. Nearer to the head, the gorge sticks are painted in blues and pinks with an Oriental lady and child, a butterfly hovering over lilac and pink flowers. The double paper leaf is fresh and bright and highlighted in gold. An Oriental child wearing pink and blue approaches a man, a lantern hung from a pole over his shoulder, a bird perched on his outstretched hand. The man in similar dress with the addition of a shaped black hat and black shoes, proffers a flower basket containing pink flowers. Behind him on a small table is an exotic pot plant with large leaves and a blue pottery bowl. Above the figures hovers a bright blue bird, another perched on a branch of a tree to the left. The verso is plain save for a few pink flowers and green leaves. The découpage on the leaf is highly detailed and covers the top border, both sides and provides some central detail. The designs are so intricate as to resemble high quality needle lace with various complex fillings, including pomegranates and leaves as well as lattice and scrolling. Guard length 28cmThe leaf is clean and fresh but does have some brown marking on the verso.
