Victorian Black Lace, Silk and Ivory ParasolVictorian Black Lace, Silk and Ivory Parasol  Ref: CAT546
A Victorian black silk and lace fringed parasol with carved ivory handle, c1850.

The parasol is 49cm (19") in diameter and the folding ivory handle is 60cm (23-1/2") long when opened. The parasol is white silk on the inside and has black lace detailing on the top. Around the edge there is a cream coloured 10cm (4") fringe which matches the colour of the ivory. On top of the parasol there is a carved ivory finisher, which has a ring and tassel.

The slender handle is carved ivory and the natural ivory markings can be clearly seen in the material. It hinges in the middle and is secured with a sliding brass collar. Parasols with hinged handles are sometimes referred to as 'carriage parasols' and were designed to be more compact when travelling.

The parasol is in excellent vintage condition with some slight discolouration to the folds in the panels and a couple of very small tears to the silk lining. The parasol still opens and closes easily. More Pictures...
