Tan/Beige Victorian Embroidered Parasol with wooden handle

By lvthytigers, 8 June, 2008
Description

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.
