Paul Preaching at Athens: An Early 18th Century Bone Fan, printed and hand coloured, showing an outdoor gathering with the classical building of Athens, Paul at the top of stone steps, preaching. The lower edge of the double paper leaf is printed on the recto with the words ''Paul Preaching at Athens'' (and thus helping to determine categorically the scene on this fan) The monture is plain to the gorge, albeit with shaped sticks which present an interesting aspect when the fan is closed. The slender guards are painted in blue with flowers in different colours. The verso is plain, save for a simple pink flower. Guard length 27.5cm See the recent sale at Tennants of lot 12 in the Blackborne Collection Part 1, a similar but unattributed fan, where two explanations for the scene were offered. The gorge sticks are quite basic but appear original. Very slight imperfection to the lower edge of the leaf. Gorge sticks produce interesting patterns when closed and on the side.
Venus Presenting Arms to Aeneas: An Early 18th Century Ivory Fan, the slender guards plain, the gorge to the recto painted in dull red with gold detail in the Chinese fashion, the verso more simply with gold. The double paper leaf is quite darkly painted to the recto with a soldier and lady under a stone arch, small children, winged cherubs and a further lady to the sides. The cherubs are carrying armour, to the left a shield and to the right a helmet, most likely thus a depiction of Venus presenting arms to Aeneas. The verso is painted with the bold and vibrant flowers indicative of the period. Blue stone to the rivet. Guard length 26cm. Some wear to the gorge paint. Leaf quite rubbed. Some nicks to upper folds. Leaf shortened as both guards have the first stick in stuck to them.
The Queen of Sheba Visits King Solomon: A Fine and Early 18th Century Painted Ivory Brisé Fan, with the addition of tortoiseshell panels to the guards. Solomon, seated on his throne, receives the Queen of Sheba, bearing gifts. Beneath the main scene, a painted cartouche shows The Judgement of Paris. The reserves are painted with Chinoiserie designs, as are the guards, these also featuring European figures. The painted verso depicts a bay with a boat arriving by sea, a galleon at anchor in the near distance, a couple walking along the sands, a fort and other stone buildings close by, below which feature Chinoiserie details in blue and coral. Twenty-eight inner sticks and two guards. Guard length 21cm. Contained in a brown leather non-original fan box. One central stick detached/broken at the rivet end, the lower part mainly being present and perhaps previously restored. The painted ribbon is defective. The upper MOP on the lower guard is missing, there appears to be a repair at this point and the stick, seen from the verso, lacks some painted decoration.
A Fine 18th Century Italian Grand Tour Fan, the ivory monture elaborately carved and pierced, the central gorge cartouche with chinoiserie figures, a diamond vignette at either side with further figures, surrounded by flowers. The upper guards are carved with a figure and animal. The double velum leaf depicts Saint Peter's Square, Rome, two side vignettes, one with the Pantheon, another a stone wall and circular building. The reserves are filled with classical figures within boldly coloured borders. The verso is plain. Guard length 27cm. Good Colour. The upper guard is broken. Several gorge sticks are missing and the leaf has been cut down. Note from the images how some sticks are stuck to the guards. The leaf is quite crumpled.
