Antique Victorian fan with extraordinary blue - purple mother of pearl sticks and guards and handpainted landscape of a woman picking flowers in a garden. European, probably French, 19th century.


Measures approx 16 inches accross the top & guard is 8 1/2 inches long.


The leaf of the fan is handpainted with a wonderful rich blue and green ground. the sides have silver and gold scrolls, showing very royal against the blue background. The green part forms the background of a garden full of pink and red flowers. A young woman, her hair set over her ears, gathers flowers in a basket.

The sticks and guards are made of a fantastic deep blue / purple mother of pearl They catch and play with the light and glitter wonderfully. They have been further embellished with handpainted flowers, very delicately done. The sticks and guards are held together with a gold metal ring, the clasps of which are amethyst glass.


Condition is very good considering the age and delicacy of the fabric. There is some splitting on the seams of the leaf, but they are all holding together quite well. The mother of pearl is in excellent condition with no damage of any sort.
