Not just beautiful, but very well made. A very solid parasol with beautifully detailed painted artwork of painted Crane. I still have it, and it still works, up and down__3 years later!!!
I wanted a feminine, delicate-looking (yet sturdy) parasol to wear with Regency period costume. This fit the bill perfectly, and also looks smashing with modern-day clothes. And, of course, it keeps my fair skin cool and shaded from the summer sun.
