Original box and fan, made of ivory. The end pieces are intricately carved with birds, flowers and a street scene. There are 22 leaves, these are also highly decorated. The base of each leaf, and top of each leaf is simply pierced with oriental screen work and flowers, and the fan was originally connected by a fine cream silk ribbon, which has now disintegrated. The box is marked maker: Laurie & Co, 66 East st, Brighton, hand writen on the base with - 'Tortoishell, Real Lad,' and so not related to this fan.
