This marquis parasol, being made out of fine silk that is 160 years old is typical of ones you’ll find from that period. The silk has shattered, but the underlying metal structure is in good shape. It features a 28″ long folding ebony shaft that has a carved floral design on the handle. The top measures 17″ in diameter and has a double ruffle around the edge.
