Toil and Tenderness: A Very Unusual Mid-18th Century Fan, with mother-of-pearl laid over ivory for part of the monture. The guards are noted to have mother of pearl panels overlaid in ivory, the lower section being carved plain ivory, as is the lower section of the gorge. The upper gorge consists of carved and pierced white mother-of-pearl, with intricate designs of scrolls and figures, flowers and a bird. Subtle painting highlights an already very elaborate monture. The double paper leaf tells two stories, linked by water. To the left, dock workers toil with heavy wooden crates and barrels whilst a couple observe, ships in full sail having set out to sea. To the right, a scene of leisure, one couple seated near the water side, a man waiting on the water in a rowing boat, and a tender scene of a tall well-dressed gentleman, in a blue jacket and red breeches, a wig with long ringlets tied at the nape, his slim hound beside him, presenting a single rose stem to a lady in pink, a blue flower already pinned to her lace-up formal bodice, a young boy at her side. The verso continues with the workers toiling at the harbour, stone ruins to the side, one worker using rope to pull a palate loaded with large chunks of grey stone. A smaller scene to the left shows a solitary man looking out to sea. On both sides of the leaf the scenes are separated by vibrant and varied flowers and fruits in blue, pinks, mauve and yellow. On the mother-of-pearl gorge section the verso is painted with flowers and shells in pastel colours. Guard length 29cm. Together with a pale blue silk box, fitted, with cream silk liningThe leaf folds are rubbed. Some mother of pearl overlay is detached, two panels are available.

Generally yellowing, some missing slivers of ivory.

A Circa 1830's to 1840's Chinese Carved Ivory Brisé Fan, Qing Dynasty, the twenty one inner sticks featuring a large central oval containing figures and buildings, above which is placed a small plain oval for a monogram, surrounded by boats, buildings, figures, a narrow border underneath the ribbon of fruit, shells, beetles, butterflies, dragons, and birds in flight in the tips, the guards featuring dragons, birds in flight, figures and trees. No carving to the verso. Guard length 19cmSlivers missing, ribbon defective.

An Early and Quite Slender 18th Century Ivory Fan, the guards with simple painted decoration, the gorge sticks much more elaborate and vibrant, the paint quite dark in colour, highlighted in gold. The designs feature shells and bold flowers, some of which seem iridescent, perhaps with crushed mother-of-pearl in the paint?, and unusual shapes, many involving two sticks, are bordered with thin lines of gold. The lower section of the guards and the gorge is elaborately carved and shaped so as to give interest to the sticks when the fan is closed and laid on its side. The vellum leaf, mounted à l'anglaise, is painted with stone arches, approaching which are a young country couple, the girl carrying a bale of straw on her head, possibly a references to Ceres, the boy perhaps a shepherd, and to the right, in their path is perhaps the altar of love. The reserves feature quite an exotic flower border, and centrally at the top are more shells. The verso shows a simple scene of trees and wood fences by water, hills in the distance. The gorge is highlighted simply around pierced sections. Guard length 26.5cmThe leaf may have been shortened to the sides. The folds are rubbed. The verso is quite marked in proximity to the ribs.
