Perfectly Imperfect Old Lace & Silk Parasol
£62.50
A stunning piece of fashion history.
A wonderful old lace and silk parasol. In perfectly imperfect condition. A piece that is just beautiful to style in your home or use as a prop when selling yourself at a market or fair. Found at the bottom of an old linen trunk some time ago and I have had it displayed here in the studio for a while so I could enjoy its beauty.
Lots of imperfections and wear to the silk inside and also to the outer lace. I have taken lots of photographs as a visual descriptor. The mechanism still works well so you can still open it fully.
The parasol measures 55cm in diameter when fully extended. The length including the wooden handle measures 74cm. The lace edging falls 10cm down from the shade itself.
Late 1800's (I think) maybe a little earlier.
It will arrive as a large parcel based on its length.
