The fabrics, used on this umbrella, are a polyester-blend.  Unlike the regular nylon umbrella, this fabric has a lovely texture and feel.  It could very well be the same fabric as your favourite trench coat!  Very sophisticated. The long, slender handle, is a vintage art-wood handle, that is perfect for a lady's hand. And what a lovely hand, it has.  Being a polyester-blend, it does not have the crinkly, slippery feel of nylon.  It could very well be your trench coat fabric! The long, slender handle, is a lovely vintage art-wood handle, that complements the brown and tan canopy. And, as we believe the inside of an umbrella should be a nice as the outside, a lovely embroidered center-piece has been added at the top-inside of the canopy.  This embroidered piece, brings together the colors of the canopy, as well as the gold-tone color of the art-wood handle.

Something a bit different, for sale.  A late 19th century wicker baby carriage.   It was purchased from a dealer in the eastern USA, and I understand that it was originally manufactured by a business, in that location, in the late 1800s. Please note, that the shipping of this item will be expensive, as it will […]
