I will upload a picture asap but until then let me just say that I feel some deep history about this chair. I'm reminded of "Little House On The Prairie" when I look at the crude material it's made of. I have only been able to find out the approx. dates the Co. made this chair and that being 1885. A search of Ebay estimated the value of both chair and desk and just the chair alone but I'm not sure if that was based on this particular maker of school desks and chairs.
This is a very small china tea set, though i'm not sure exactly if it's china or porcelain. The set is all white with no distinguishable designs. There are 7 pieces altogether; a larger platter, the teapot, the teapot lid, two small plates, one teacup and a small creamer. there's a small chip on the teapot and part of the handle of the creamer is broken. The tallest piece, being the teapot is almost 2" in height.
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.
