A rare and elegant silk parasol with silver handle dating: End of 19th beginning of 20th Century provenance: France, Wooden (bamboo?) shaft complete with collar, with all ribs and stretchers well preserved (apparently without bends or fractures). The grey silk canopy (unfortunately with several cuts and tears), featuring a polychrome floral decoration on the inside and still complete with its fastening strap. Also present is the embroidered, interwoven rib retainer, complete with a tassel in the colours of the decorative motif on the canopy. The long handle is made of hallmarked silver, decorated in relief and openwork in its upper section in the typical Art Nouveau style, with floral-inspired elements forming a sort of architectural structure supporting the pommel, which is engraved with a monogram, probably "EC", presumably the initials of the lady who owned the parasol. Two hallmarks at the base of the handle. An object of great elegance and exceptionally fine workmanship.
