I fell in love with this antique and purchased it at a shop specializing in antiques, vintage items, and curios. It's a very old, antique silk parasol. It has ivory silk fabric, an ivory resin-like handle, and a black tassel at the tip, giving it an artistic impression. Shortly after purchasing it, due to its age, the tassel strings began to fray, so I repaired them myself with thin black satin ribbon. Also, the metal tube in the folding mechanism is designed to straighten the parasol, but it doesn't have a clasp to keep the umbrella open. Therefore, I devised a way to keep it open by threading beads onto an ivory rubber band, and I can close it by lowering the rubber band. I haven't used it as a parasol. The shop owner also seemed to use it as interior decoration. It was truly lovely. I think it's wonderful as a valuable addition to an antique parasol collection, or for photography, as its small size and the silk, though showing some wear, are truly beautiful. How about using it as a unique accessory for a wedding? I love it and have put effort into repairing it, so I'm quite attached to it, and there's a possibility I might withdraw it from sale. Size: Length of the umbrella part: Approximately 30cm
