Length 66 cm; diameter 57 cm., An open lace parasol with delicate floral embroidery and a scalloped lace edging in shades of cream and off-white sits against a neutral gray background, showing a central finial topped with a small decorative element and a tied ribbon, and a handle partially visible with similar cream lace detailing.
