The parasol measures
about 13.75 inches from the top to the
tip. The bottom part is wood with a metal
finial. The canopy of the parasol is
creamy beige with a brown printed pattern
on the silk. The canopy, as is so usual
with these antique little parasols is not
perfect. Collectors will know that the
fragile silk does not take kindly to
opening fully and closing over many
years. I would not push it fully open as
the silk could no doubt split more - but
near to fully open it measures about 12
inches across at the largest area of the
diameter. As it is, there are splits to
the top section of the canopy but I have
known of this parasol in a collection for
many years and I believe the splits to
the silk have been there for a very long
time without becoming a problem. I love
these items as they finish off a doll
display so nicely. However, like all good
accesssories - so much more difficult to
find these days. This is a super parasol
of an unusual design, and can be
displayed with your dolls in a variety of
ways. As this is such a reasonable price,
do contact me to purchase as soon as
possible if you are interested in it to
avoid disappointment.This
