Antique Victorian Era Mourning Parasol, Black Silky Umbrella 2017-086X

Description

2017-086
Antique ladies black mourning parasol / umbrella with beautiful carved wood handle and finial. The handle is carved in what appears to be a sectioned tortoise shell pattern. The silk is very thin and worn as you can see in the photos, but the skeleton frame and button mechanism are in very good working condition. The parasol when open is almost flat with a ring of 5.5" lace that hangs down to shade the lady below. The lace is in good shape for the most part, there is a small section, that can be seen in the last photo, that is tattered. There is a puff ball resting at the base of the finial and the handle is completely wood with a bent wire release button and metal folding staves that hold the material which when extended is 34" diameter.
Would be lovely restored and maybe even better displayed in its' current condition. Wonderful piece either way :)
This comes from the estate of an antique dealer and collector, it is estimated to be circa late 1800's.
See photos for condition.
35" top to bottom
