Description

The listing, 200 year old umbrela has ended.

this is very old hand made umbrela made in made in Tiwan. A friend of mine told me that it is all hand tied under and that women like her great grand mother would work months on making and tieing the strings under the umbrela and would hand paint them it is made of paper and because of the type of paint put on this one it is made for the rainy days. I would make a beautiful display in a restruant. I has a few sticks on the inside coming lose but they r still there and one worn place as seen in pic 4 but other wise is in tact and very pretty and delcate. I needs a good home so happy bidding

I have two very similar umbrellas and you are right, they are very delicate, not sure of place of origin, still doing research. Great auction, Good Luck!! F&W
