A Large 18th Century Ivory Brisé Fan, European, carved, pierced, silvered and painted. The central sticks are applied with a large oval of painted paper or fabric, showing an indoor scene of two ladies listening to music being performed by a man and a boy. To each side, a smaller oval painted onto the ivory, with bonsai plants, fruit and wine. The reserves feature small plaques painted with a pair of birds carrying laurel garlands. Each stick is carved in a classical fashion. The lower guards, left plain, are particularly slender. The gorge is delicately pierced with swags. Twenty-four inner sticks and two guards, all with rounded tips. The verso is also applied with a painting, this time of a country couple seated in a clearing near to a stone pergola or folly, surrounded by sheep and a dog, the maiden pointing towards a garland of pink roses that her beau holds away from her. The reserves are plain. Tortoiseshell thumb guards. Together with an 18th century cardboard fan tube with lid, in pale pink. Guard length 10.5 inches or 27cm. The cream silk ribbon is defective in one place. The silvering and gilding are rubbed in places and are no longer bright. The tube is badly scuffed, the paper covering torn in one place, but strong and fit for purpose.

2007 Tua Rita Syrah per Sempre Syrah OCC 6x75cl IN BOND The estate’s 2007 Syrah explodes from the glass with cracked black pepper, cured meats, blueberry jam and sweet spices. This is a remarkably muscular, full-throttle Syrah that offers exceptional balance and tons of complexity. Mineral-infused black fruit, graphite and crushed rocks are some of the nuances that inform the long, refreshing finish. In 2007, the Syrah is Tua Rita’s flagship wine. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2027. - Antonio Galloni
