Empire Parasol, ca. 1820

Very rare stroll umbrella from the late Empire or early Biedermeier period, ca. 1820. Origin: France. The rails are made of wood and hand-forged metal. The stick and the handle are made of mahogany wood. The umbrella is hinged and lockable with a brass cartouche. The tip is made of bone; one part appears to be missing. Brown fringes. For the age: in good to very good condition. We have not fully stretched the umbrella - hence the clothespin. The decoration is not included.

Length: ~ 80 cm
Diameter when opened: ~ 55 cm
