Women's umbrella made of white lace. Its canopy is trimmed with cream silk at the bottom, which conceals the metal structure and, when unfolded, provides a backdrop for the lace covering. The bone handle is carved with floral motifs and folds in half. c. 1850–1875, France. Length 66 cm; diameter 57 cm., A close-up view of a cream-colored lace fabric gathered and draped, featuring a satin ribbon bow in a similar cream tone tied near the top, with a small decorative finial attached that appears ivory and rounded; the lace shows delicate floral patterns and a fine netting texture, and the background is a smooth mid-gray.
