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 of a lace fabric showing a delicate floral pattern in an off-white or cream color with a small cream-colored decorative finial and ribbon tied to the fabric; the background is a smooth gray, and the lace displays a repeating textured motif of tiny floral and leaf details.
