A Fine Early 18th Century Ivory Fan, dated 1740's, the monture relatively plain save for gentle shaping to the edges of the gorge sticks and a rope effect to the guards with colour applied to emphasises the low relief. The double paper leaf is printed and hand coloured with great detail, some of which being highlighted with applied ground mother-of-pearl. Central to the recto, a female Chinese figure in decorated robe, holding a large fixed shaped hand screen, and accompanied by a younger female seated at a nearby table. To the left, a shaped cartouche containing two more Chinese ladies, their costume with gold highlights, the decoration around this section being that of minute patterned tiles. To the far left, a scene of ancient Europe, with stone columns and buildings behind two ladies who appear to be attending a seated gentleman, bearded, and wearing a crown of leaves, most likely a river god as he is seated by an urn spouting water, and near a river, and thus perhaps a personification of the Tiber. To the far right, a scene of local industry in the East, with chinoiserie figures wearing sunhats made from straw, gathered around a basic loom on which they appear to be weaving patterned fabric. The top border is painted to the left with tiny pink blossom and a bird in flight. More birds fly from left to right and can be noted perched amidst exotic foliage. The verso is painted with a simple scene of a rocky outcrop, again applied with crushed Mother of Pearl, a lone figure in dark robes holding a specimen plant in a pot.

Lot 2030
The Crown of Immortality: A Fine Late 18th Century Ivory Fan, with an unusual subject. The monture, carved, pierced and lightly gilded, has an oriental figure to the upper guard, carvings of birds and colourful floral painting to the gorge. The double paper leaf shows a mythological couple, probably Bacchus and Ariadne, seated at a table with refreshments including wine, offered from a large ewer by a serving girl. A gold chariot to the right of the scene is tended by a winged cherub with spotted leopards or dogs feasting on bunches of dark grapes. To the left, two female attendants with further supplies of wine are pointing to the canopy over the head of the table. Here, against the dark lilac velvet, can be seen a crown of stars, deemed to be the Crown of Immortality. The verso is painted with a gentle depiction of a young couple, the gentleman playing music to his lady. Guard length 11.5 inches or 29.5cm The crown of stars, representing immortality, may derive from the story of an unhappy Ariadne, who was turned into a constellation of stars. See the Ovid. In Titian's Bacchus and Adriade in the National Gallery, the constellation is shown above Ariadne's head as a circle of 8 stars. This is considered as perhaps the earliest depiction of the crown of stars.. The monture is sound with minor rubbing to the paint or varnish. The leaf is strong but has had a fair amount of good restoration over the years on the folds, see the verso.

Lot 2213
An 18th Century Chinese Ivory Fan, Qing Dynasty, circa 1730's, with slender sticks, the gorge carved in bands, the sticks in pairs forming hearts, and the head particularly shaped and detailed. The double paper leaf is finely painted with a scene of fishing near a rocky outcrop, travellers being ferried, a lone hunter with bow and arrow aiming at ducks in flight and on the water. The verso is painted with a large country house with adjoining chapel, somewhere in Europe, whereas the reserves show figures in robes carrying fans, and musical instruments, a bearded man to the right, seemingly a group of entertainers. A small faun is painted to the bottom left. Guard length 10.5 inches or 26.5cm. In good general order, the leaf very, very slightly crumpled. The painting of the buildings is darkened around the edges and on the folds, whereas the cream side-panels with the figures is clean and bright.

A Circa 1880's Japanese Shibayama Fan, the colourful decoration of flowers, leaves and insects set into ivory in the upper sections of both guards.

Characters in wearing robes and obis greet each other under shelter to the right of the leaf. More guests arrive from the left. Centrally, four people in lesser costume appear to be providing entertainment. The verso is painted with birds in flight, near water. Their detailed feathers are highlighted with dashes of colour, the generally subtle colours of the surrounding flowers being complemented by a burst of strong pink.
