This is a truly beautiful parasol and in very good condition for its age. It features a brass shaft that transitions into parallel shafts that then loops around a brass ribbed sphere at the handle; perhaps a stylized nut or bud? Plain black fabric on the outside gives way to an amazing surprise when opening. The most stunning feature of this parasol, the wonderful lining fabric. It's almost 3 dimensional and to my eye and resembles golden and brown/black plumage, but it could easily be interpreted as some other delicious organic bed of luxury. The fabric pattern and handle design hints that the item could be early 19th century and inspired from the Art Nouveau period.
