An early 20th century French mother of pearl and sequin fan, embroidered with swallows and a dragon fly, within Duvelleroy of Regent Street box, with a Brussels lace and black mother of pearl effect fan, within Duvelleroy box, and a Chantilly lace fan, with an American Art Deco mesh and enamel bag, probably by Mandalian, and a mother of pearl calling card case (5) (at fault)

More Information

The French mother of pearl fan shows breaks to both guards. The leaf is very fragile, showing several splits along the folds. One of the bone ribs shows a loss to the tip.

Please note that we believe the Brussels lace mother of pearl coloured fan to be mother of pearl effect, rather than mother of pearl. The bone ribs of this fan show some staining but no breaks. The leaf shows some staining and the odd pull.
