A Good Brussels Bobbin Appliqué Lace Folding Parasol, ca. 1870. The motifs mounted on black silk. Lined in cream silk. The frame, of bone, is carved from the end to the central point where the brass ring covers the hinging mechanism. The floral carving, quite deep, is designed to meander around the lower section. Lined in fine cream silk with good working action, and no splits to the silk. In very good order. Maybe the tip of the parasol is missing.
