An Elegant Mid-19th Century Ivory Folding Parasol, the good black Chantilly lace cover with scalloped edge attractively overhanging the cream lining. Designed with central meandering stems and leaves, the cover features eight floral sprays leading to ovals and swags, with flowers and leaves to the border. The lower shaft carving features 5 narrow bands and a bulbous end in four segments. The finial has a small ring for ribbon or other decoration. Height 24.75 inches or 63cm. Cover depth 12.75 inches or 32.5cm. Together with a second mid-19th century folding parasol, the upper shaft of light wood, the ivory lower section quite simply carved. The lace cover, which has been re-lined, would most likely fit a larger frame, but has been elegantly gathered at the crown. The design, of large roses above smaller flower clusters, finishes in a scalloped edge, large flowers alternating with leaves (2)

. First parasol, please note a slight curve to the lower, ivory shaft. The upper shaft is pale wood. An odd tiny hole noted in the net ground. Replacement lining is strong. The second parasol is lined in a strong mustard to set off the design, with a further black lining within. One split in the net noted up next to the top of the crown, and two or three on the border. Otherwise the cover feels crisp and sound.
