The wood on this box was tinted in a gold color with a decoupage of a Fragonard painting on the cover, surrounded by burnt designs on all four sides. it has 2 metal hinges on the shorter side of the box. The interior is lined with a blue velvet.

This parasol was made in Japan. It is light tan in color. There is embroidered flowers on the parasol in the same color. The handle is wooden with about 5 or 6 inches of floral carving at the lower end. It does have a metal piece that opens up the parasol. The material is pleated towards the top of the parasol, with the wooden tip protruding approximately 3 inches from the top. it's tipped with a metal cap with two lines encircling the lower part. It looks like it has a broken snap, that's supposed to hold it closed. some of the material towards the points is a little damaged, possibly from water or rot. The wooden handle unscrews and has a collapsable joint.

This is a black satin parasol possibly victorian with a long handle made of what looks like a "finished" branch. About 4 inches up from the bottom of the handle is an engraved section that's a darker color. The parasol has a 3-4" hanging fringe, made of black lace. Some of the lace is detached from the parasol at the seam, due to wear. There's an interior tan lining of the parasol which has shredded over years of usage. The tip of the umbrella, is still, again, wood, approximately 4-4 1/2 in length...tapering towards the tip with a ball design towards the very top.

Hi

Chair is all wood.....3 round dowels for the back frame. Four flat slats on the seat frame. The cushions are blue with yellow knot like flecks in the fabric. The legs are tapered as well as the arms. It appears to be a lounge or patio chair. There is a branding stamp on the left outside corner with a fancy (could be rb or something else) cursive capitol B with a small a next to it with the word furniture below it.

I had an office couch that looked very similair but was made out of metal with pea green pleather like cushions and I know was from the 50's.......

The belt buckle has a picture of hooded men standing around a tree and within the tree are the faces of black men. Their faces appear as if they are in fear or agony.

I purchased this watercolor print in a local thrift shop for 5 Bucks.  When I noticed it had norman beals signature on it along with 113/200  I wanted to find out more about it.
