Lot 802
A Medieval Crotal-Bell, C. 15th Century AD. In Europe they were made from probably before the early Middle Ages and though many founders cast bells of this type, the Robert Wells bell foundry of Aldbourne, Wiltshire produced the largest range. The first medieval designs came in two separate halves into which a metal pea was introduced and the two halves were then soldered or crimped together. Somewhere around 1400 they were cast in a single piece with a ball of metal inside.Crotal bells, also known as rumble bells, were used on horse-drawn vehicles before motorised vehicles were common. They were often made of bronze with a slot cut down the side. These bells were used to warn other horse-drawn vehicle users (mostly on country roads) that another vehicle was approaching. They came in many sizes, from a small 1-inch version to bells that were many inches across - the older ones were forged while others were cast. They were either hung on a small leather-and-iron harness bracket above the horse's collar on smaller vehicles. On larger vehicles, such as delivery wagons, they were driven into the wooden frame of the wagon. This example is extremely with good condition remaining on the item and with remaining complete rattle inside. 50mm.

A Mother-of-Pearl and Ivory Fan, circa 1900(?), of a very unusual type. The monture is made up of white mother of pearl guards, pierced and clouté, and plain gorge, with a turquoise stone to the rivet. The upper panels are ivory, pierced with borders leaving the centre plain. The tips are all straight, the carving within giving it the air of a pointed Regency brisé fan. Where the ivory and mother of pearl meet, the join is visible from the verso. Guard length 19cm (please see images and condition report); A Small Circa 1900's Black Wooden Fan, the sticks simply pierced, mounted with a double leaf of black gauze, embroidered with elongated black sequins in extravagant swag designs and smaller sequins including starry shapes for a stylised central vase of flowers. Guard length 19cm; A 20th Century Cockade Fan, housed in a plastic case for protection, once open the case becomes the handle. The pleated circular leaf is dark brown. Slight shaping to one end. Closed down the item is 13cm; and A Circa 1890's Large Wooden Fan, mounted in a heavy red cotton, painted with leaves and birds in black, tinged with gold. The verso is painted with a simple flower spray in the same colours. Basic metal loop. The gorge sticks are natural the guards have been painted a dull dark red. Guard length 32cm; and A Circa 1900 Blue Silk Fan, with sequins, the guards of bone, painted in dark blue with gold stars and pink flowers, the gorge of horn painted with the same flowers. The double leaf of plain dark blue for the verso, has a thin gauze layer to the recto, highly embellished with tiny green and gold sequins, dots of pink paint, featuring five small vignettes containing cornucopia. Guard length 19cm (5) Fan 1 - at first consideration this looks like the marriage of two different fans. But the piercing appears to match. It has suffered damage and one guard is reinforced with more pearl. The ivory sticks are badly glued onto the mother of pearl which may have happened aon restoration, but it does present some questions. Fan 4- Leaf fabric quite dirty. Fan 5 - The gauze is in poor condition. The blue paint is rubbed, but essentially the monture is sound.
