Antique Sterling Silver and Mother of Pearl Victorian Parasol Umbrella Handle
Beautiful vintage Victorian ladies sun parasol. It boasts an mother of pearl handle with buttressed on top and bottom by decorated sterling silver. The exposed ivory is about 4-3/4 inches long. The upper and lower sterling silver section are each about 1-3/4 inches long. The lower section of sterling silver is engraved with A. Runge. The umbrella mechanism is mechanically sound and opens and closes easily. The umbrella is missing fabric so this could be a great restoration project or you could just put it in your hall stand as is. It displays beautifully because the handle is so ornate.
