Description: | Fan made of pierced ivory stays and guards with a central monogrm "G T W". Deep rose pink silk leaf fan. Sticks and guards are a Chinese export and the silk leaf was added in Europe. The guards are carved with flowers and birds while the sticks are carved with trailing floral decoration on the face only. The metal loop is possibly a later addition with a plaited cord with 'z' tassels in a faded purple silk with a tiny ivory toggle carved as a rabbit.
