A Tortoiseshell Fan, circa 1900, mounted with a leaf of black net, applied white Brussels Bobbin lace, and tiny silver sequins. The lace is of floral design, with leaves, and the centres are filled with needle lace. Tortoiseshell loop. Guard length 9.5 inches or 24cm. The upper guard and first stick in appear to have been repaired. The faintest of lines can be seen just where the gorge is shaped. No splint, nothing obvious.
An 18th Century Ivory Fan, the monture very fine and slender, the gorge plain, the upper guards carved and painted with flowers leaving parts to be decorated with tiny slivers of Mother-of-pearl, giving a lightness to the fan, and complementing the elegance of the double paper leaf. The recto is very delicately painted with a dull turquoise horizonal band, peppered with tiny silver dots, above which features a shaped border of tiny leaves and flowers. Filling the remainder of the leaf, festoons of leaves tied with ribbons, red dog roses mixed with blue, exotic flowers and convolvulus offset with dark green leaves. The leaf is topped with a band of silver and the verso is completely plain. Contained in a card fan box with exterior gold crossbanding, giving a quilted effect, the inside lid bearing the label for Maison V Viginet, Bréveté de S. M l'Imperatrice. A. Rodien & Cie Succrs, rue de Luxembourg 48, EVENTAILS Rep. d'éventails ECRANS. Guard length 10.25 inches or 26cm. Good, sound, one tiny green mark on an inner fold, second stick in from the left. The first stick in from the left has a small chink out of the ivory, more a fault than an accident, possibly. The box lid ends are damaged but the box serves its purpose.
An Owl, and Dandelion Clocks: A Small Wood Fan, mounted with a black gauze leaf, the upper edge shaped, painted to show an owl in flight, wide-eyed and ready to land. Guard length 6.5 inches or 16.5cm. Together with Another Wood Fan mounted with black gauze, the sticks carved and shaped and clouté with silver metal. The double leaf is painted in white with dandelions gone to seed, with jagged leaves and other clocks forming a top border. The leaves are embroidered with tiny silver sequins. Guard length 9.5 inches or 24cm (2). Both fans are sound, clean, the silver sequins shiny.
Four 19th to Early 20th Century Fans, comprising a pink mother-of-pearl example mounted with a cream silk leaf, painted with a spray of white blossom and green leaves. The floral spray is repeated on the gorge. To the left, the painting is initialled, EK. The verso is plain. Simple gold metal loop decorated with an elaborate cream silk tassel. Guard length 1.75 inches or 23.5cm; A circa 1880's bone fan, black silk mounted with a fan leaf of Brussels bobbin appliqué on machine net. The verso is plain. Guard length 10.5 inches or 26.5cm; The third fan, mid-19th century, is of white Mother-of-pearl, carved, pierced, gilded and silvered, the same design to guards and gorge. The double paper leaf is a lithograph depicting three maidens in the countryside accompanied by sheep, a suitor presenting flowers. The verso has a similar scene: and finally, a later silver sequinned fan, the double leaf mounted on wood sticks stained black, the monture inlaid with silver metal dots, the leaf with a band of spangles as a top border and tiny sequins and larger spangles forming the outline of cascading leaves and ribbon swags. Guard length 9.5 inches or 24cm. The first fan is in good clean order, however 2 of the central gorge sticks have a chunk missing (sections not present). The lace fan is sound but the bone is a little grubby with slight staining. The lace is unwashed but also a little grubby. The third fan lacks the upper section of the lower guard, the leaf is torn on some folds, and light staining is visible on the verso. The sequin fan is sound but the upper layer of the leaf is frayed to the bottom right and detached to the bottom left.
A Mid-19th Century White Mother-of-Pearl Fan, the guards and deep gorge carved and pierced, gilded and silvered. The double paper leaf depicts a musical gathering, a river nearby with other couples sailing, and a young girl being pushed on a swing. The verso shows a rural scene of old buildings next to water. The reserves recto/verso feature flowers and gold. Contained in a box with internal label for J. Duvelleroy, Regent Street, London. Guard length 10.75 inches or 27cm. Together with a slightly later fan, the carved and pierced wood sticks clouté with silver on the guards, the gorge having attractive shaping and also clouté, in bands. The double paper leaf depicts a couple dancing, with castanets, to guitar music being played by one gentleman, a lady seated close by, other couples present, most of the ladies holding fans. The verso shows a group of three ladies and one gentleman at leisure, by water. The reserves recto/verso are highlighted in gold. Guard length 10.5 inches or 26.5cm. The MOP fan has several breaks to the gorge sticks, with old repairs. Two tears noted to the leaf, one to each side. The second fan is in good order.
A Good Mixed Brussels Appliqué Lace fan, circa 1880's, mainly bobbin with fine needle lace fillings, large floral sprays to the sides of a central lace motif enclosed in formal scrolling. The fine lace, of good original off white colour, is laid onto black silk. The verso is plain. The monture, of a clean and bright green/pink mother of pearl, is unadorned. A silver metal loop in the form of twisted rope holds an elaborate cream silk tassel, with a knot and fringe embellished with gold metal thread. Guard length 10 inches or 25.5cm. The lace is in very good order, as is the black silk. The lower guard has been repaired, with one break in the middle of the upper section, another further down near the shaped head, this repair in the form of a metal plaque.
Novelty Fans: A Small Collection of Unusual Fans, six in all, comprising a fan in the form of a gentleman's cigar, c 1860's of the type forming a paper cockade fan when opened, labelled ''FAN…….KATO'' with Chinese characters and scrolling; a wooden fan with second, outer guards, which open to form a fixed handle, the double leaf of black fabric printed with an upper floral border, the verso plain. The leaf opening to approx. 180 degrees; A cockade fan with brass coloured ends to the guards, themselves covered in black leather, and a silver loop to hold the cockade rigid when opened, the leaf a strong black fabric, completely plain. Guards 9 inches or 23 cm, height of fan when opened 13.5 inches or 34.5cm; A Victorian fan of lightweight card, five panels, the black card embossed , the upper guard stating ''With Best Wishes'', the next panel with a verse entitled ''Remember Me'', the remaining three panels with rather more bright and cheerful floral roundels. The verso is stained a light raspberry. Finally, a pair of costume doll cards that open into fan shaped scenic depictions of grand palaces and other buildings with perhaps the lady in front wearing the costume of the location. Both advertise Condensed milk, stating ''Have you tried the condensed milk produced by Gispert? You must! You will have a pleasant surprise. Produced in Palma de Mallorca for Gispert Milk Products'' Below this, a printed patent No 88143 with the words ''Reclam…..beria barna'' printed at the bottom (6). The cigar fan no longer functions as a cockade. Inside the tube is the cockade leaf, cream paper printed with tiny birds, but the action no longer works. The leather on the second cockade is very worn. The remaining fans are all in reasonable order. The black fan in panels does not appear to be a modern reproduction.
Madonna and Child: A Mid-19th Century Mother-of-Pearl Fan, with elaborate monture, being carved and gilded with overlaid swags of flowers in shades of gold, the gorge backed with mother-of-pearl. The double paper leaf shows a detailed scene of the Madonna and Child seated for Raphael to paint their portrait, in the presence of the French king Francis I and his courtiers. Other servants provide refreshments, a small dog is laid in the foreground and a large window in the background shows a tower and rooves of adjoining buildings. A lady with small child is watching the proceedings. To either side the reserves are richly decorated with scrolling in gold and pink roses, the background of mid green, within which there is a trompe l'oeil of meandering white bobbin lace. The verso depicts a two-arched bridge over a river. Contained in a card fan box for Haywards of Oxford Street and an additional label for J. Duvelleroy 167 Regent Street W, London. Guard length 10.5 inches or 26.5cm Raphael's Madonna and Child as seen in the National Gallery Collection, also has the tower in the left background. Raphael (1483 - 1520) is thought to have created that work around 1509 - 1511. Raphael does appear to have painted many versions of the Madonna, from around 1503. The leaf has good colour and appears sound. One gorge stick is broken but present, detached at the rivet and the shoulder Some of the overlaid MOP is lacking, notably on both guards, as is the backing MOP on one gorge stick. The lower guard has been repaired by means of a silver metal panel. The leaf is generally in good order save for a minute piece of paper top left corner.
By R Serand: An Early 20th Century Brussels Bobbin Lace Fan, the lace mounted in white mother-of-pearl with strong gilding. Central to the leaf, a tranquil scene of a rather well-dressed shepherdess, a bow on her staff, to match the ribbons on her hat and her pink gown edged with lace. In the background, a lake with stone arbour, trees in blossom. To the fore, three lambs, one of which the maiden is caressing. A basic silver metal loop is adorned with an elaborate cream silk tassel. Contained in a substantial fitted box covered in green, and gilded, the interior in cream suede, cream fabric lining the lid, the retailer ''R. Carassalo Paris. Montevideo 1843 printed in gold.

The clasp works well.
Two Large Circa 1890's Gauze Fans, contained in virtually matching boxes, having belonged to two sisters. The first, of pink Mother-of-pearl, unadorned, features a cream gauze leaf mounted à l'Anglaise on bone ribs, painted with sprays of Spring flowers in soft colours, a spray of Lily of the Valley at the lower centre, bordered by small lilac flowers, the leaf sides and upper border with the same, with several dragonflies hovering above.

A touch of lilac and brown stems add colour. Mounted à l'Anglaise. The verso is plain. Guard length 13.75 inches or 35cm. The gauze leaf, fan 1, is very slightly split to the bottom left. The box end is present but not holding. Fan 2 is strong, no splitting noted, but one tiny hole in the gauze right of centre. The cream celluloid loop is a replacement? The box is undamaged.

The Carlton and The Savoy: Five Paper Advertising Fans Relating to London Hotels, three, similar but in different colourways, with silver leaves, in fontange form, advertising the Savoy Hotel, London. The remaining two fans advertise the Carlton Hotel. The smaller fan for the Carlton Hotel and Restaurant has a classical air to the design, with a couple in a clearing, the cartouche bordered by laurel leaves, the hotel being named both recto and verso. The final fan is a design by Georges Redon, possible date of 1911, showing the small but alert dog intent on watching the dapper gentleman with his top hat and cane attempting to take some advantage of his mistress. Marked on the verso as made in Paris. The silver leaf on each Savoy hotel fan remains remarkably shiny, the tope edges all crumple as is the wont of the fontange.: The third fan has small nicks to the folds and some brown marking on some folds. The Redon fan has slight wear to the top of some folds but retains good colour.
The 1890's: Two Large Late 19th Century Fans, one embroidered on dark cream silk, a spray of flowers in pink and cream silks, details in silver metal thread, the verso in plain black cotton, mounted on gilded tan wood sticks of battoir shape, the guards finishing with a T shape at the tip.
