Lot 2002
An Early 18th Century Ivory Fan, the double paper leaf mounted on very slender, plain, ivory sticks, painted with an outdoor gathering in which ladies crown beasts with floral garlands.

The verso is plain. Guard length 9.75 inches or 24.5cm. good colour and detail. Some nicks to the folds, three of which have minor tears. The gilded border is now dull.

Lot 2012
A Late 18th Century Dutch Fan, the monture of ivory, carved, pierced, gilded and silvered. The upper guards are set with an oval containing minute pictures made of coloured foil, and appear to be covered with Mica or similar. The gorge sticks consist of alternating designs, the centre with a formal oval. The vellum leaf is mounted à l'anglaise and painted with a detailed depiction of a hazy day at harvest time, the corn being reaped, the shepherdess tending her sheep, and a young man in his Sunday best playing gentle notes to his lady, seated under a tree and caressing a rabbit. To each side a smaller vignette, the one to the left showing a small dog on a stone pedestal, the one to the right with a tall beehive. Gold borders, swags and floral urns highlight what is unusually a brighter and more colourful example of a Dutch fan. The verso is painted with simple swags and flowers, in gold. Guard length 10.75 inches or 27.5cm. Generally in good order with strong colour and shiny gold to the leaf. The major gilding is dull.
Lot 2014
A Mourning Fan, the monture of ivory, circa 1760, unusually decorated in delicate drawings in black, the gorge with three vignettes each showing figures in simple robes with perhaps obis, in rural locations near water, other figures in small boats.

The double paper leaf is decorated en grisaille with a hint of pink for facial features, and shows a young lady in 18th century dress seated in a clearing. Two side vignettes show rural landscapes. The verso is plain save for a simple floral spray. Guard length 9.75 inches or 24.5cm Purchased at Christie's SK on February 14th 1995.. the lower guard has been repaired with pins next to the rivet.

Generally strong and clean.
Lot 2018
A Mid-18th Century Ivory Fan, the monture carved, pierced, gilded and painted, the guards with an elegant lady and detailed floral sprays, the gorge with figures in European dress, seated by buildings, one playing a pipe, the remaining interest supplied by very colourful flowers and foliage.

The double paper leaf is painted with a gathering in a park, two couples engaged in banter, another young man to the left trying to catch the eye of a young lady dressed in finery and playing with her dog. To the right a fine and formal country park with fountain suggests an elegant residence behind. The verso shows a lady seated by a river. Guard length 10.5 inches or 26.5cm. In good general order.
Lot 2024
A Very Unusual Mid-18th Century Ivory Fan, the monture relatively plain except for carving to the upper section of the guards. The leaf, mounted à l'anglaise, is formed from a stiffened net (most likely previously considered as catgut), and appliquéd with cut out paper fragments featuring birds in flight and perched on boughs, flowers, wild animals, and a sailing boat on the water, very much in the style of applique coverlets of the same period. Guard length 11.75 inches or 30cm. remarkably good, colours still strong, no real damage noted, tiny nicks to the top of some folds.

Lot 2029
Three Slender 18th Century Ivory Fans, framed together resulting in a very decorative item for display. The slender monture of the first fan mixes tortoiseshell with ivory in the gorge, those sticks in pairs. All sticks are carved, pierced and gilded, and further decorated with delicate painting in turquoise blue, featuring figures and flowers. The leaf features a central printed and hand coloured cartouche outlined in minute gold sequins, depicting a couple greeting a lady on the seashore, a rowing boat beached behind, the visitor on her knees with arms outstretched in supplication. The reserves are decorated with four small vignettes, two painted in strong blue, featuring a pair of white doves and domestic items, two painted in brown containing gold scrolling. Elsewhere the leaf is embroidered with scrolls of gold sequins, and finished with a painted border. The second fan is of carved and pierced ivory, figures featuring in an oval cartouche in the gorge and on the upper guard. A printed and hand coloured central cartouche features a classical couple embracing a white dove by their feet, the man possibly wearing a military tunic, suggesting Venus and Mars. The leaf, possibly of vellum, is relatively plain, with a decorative painted border, simple flowers and a scattering of iridescent highlights. The final fan, slightly larger, of carved, pierced and gilded ivory, shows a stone dock with a large and decorative wooden sailing boat berthed behind a young family, the male carrying weapons, the lady protecting a lidded urn, a further maiden to the side clearly in distress. The leaf, most likely mounted à l'anglaise, features flowers and scrolling to the reserves and a varied and detailed border painted in shades of pale blue. Guard lengths approx: Fan 1: 9 inches or 23cm Fan 2: 8 inches or 20cm Fan 3: 9.5 inches or 24cm. the fans have clearly been framed for many years resulting in some detriment to the leaves, which could perhaps be improved upon. However, the fans themselves do not appear to have been framed for reasons of prior damage, but do show normal evidence of age. Slight chipping to the frame/gilding/. Frame not opened for closer inspection.
Lot 2035
Homage to Cupid: A Circa 1790 English Brisé Fan, ivory, carved pierced, gilded in three shades and painted in a soft shade of turquoise blue, the detail in cream and grey. The slender sticks, featuring three cartouche, are minutely pierced and gilded in the reserves and very elegantly detailed in the gorge. The guards are similarly decorated with further painted cartouche. The central painted cartouche depicts the Altar of Love, with Cupid receiving gifts of flower garlands from several maidens hopeful of finding Love, one to the side holding a bowl of flames. Two more winged cherubs circle in the sky above. Each side cartouche features a further lady in classical robes. The verso shows the outline of the recto design. Guard length 9.5 inches or 24cm. : Slight rubbing to the paint and one of the three shades of gold decoration is dull.
