1750  This very large fan is made of beautifully carved and pierced ivory sticks and a single handpainted vellum leaf mounted à l'anglaise. The sticks show 2 gentlemen (the upper guardsticks bear the corresponding ladies), flowers baskets, trees and foliage. The front of the leaf is handpainted with a biblical scene which I presume to depict Abigail and David.
