Christopher Lennox Boyd, allocated to the Museum by H.M. Government in lieu of inheritance tax in 2015. The collection of over 600 objects ranges in date from the 18th to the 20th centuries and in type from bejewelled and hand-painted court and wedding fans, to printed mass-produced advertising fans, aide-memoire fans, mourning fans and children’s fans. This is the oldest fan in the Lennox-Boyd collection. It shows Venus, the Roman goddess of love, being approached by her lover, Mars, the Roman god of war. This delicately hand-painted fan was made for a wealthy and discerning patron: its sticks are carved from expensive imported ivory and then embellished with exotic mother-of pearl. The guards may have been added later. Extensive tears have been crudely repaired at some point in its history. reference term-120892 adlib-term-120892 9b10ad74-ac3e-3397-a8b9-49b9a5992086 17th Century-18th Century reference term-120306 adlib-term-120306 4c444129-3d8c-340f-bfbd-b4d82e5cbd17 literal France France country France reference term-110712 adlib-term-110712 62af496a-308b-35b5-9f83-c7a0f36fba19 folding fan history note Lennox Boyd Estate.
