Antique Victorian-style 36” tall parasol, likely dating from the mid-to-late 19th century. During this era, parasols were essential fashion accessories used primarily by women of status to protect their skin from the sun.
This piece features a multi-layered, ruffled canopy made of delicate materials—silk and lace—and is adorned with violets.
Construction: The frame is made of metal and silk, and the handle is carved wood.
The mechanism works perfectly!
Style: The elaborate ruffles and floral embellishments are characteristic of the "high Victorian" aesthetic, where parasols became showy additions meant to coordinate with a lady's specific ensemble.
