Thank YOU Rita! Please Note: Because Black is difficult to photograph, I"ve lightened several of the photos; therefore the texture of the lace and the tiers are more visible. This Victorian or Edwardian Style Parasol is graced with tiers of beautiful gossamer black Lace that's accented with a rose design; it's 20 inches in diameter. I named it "My Heartache" because during Victorian and Edwardian times a lady usually carried a black parasol when she'd was mourning the loss of a loved one. It's accented with Black Satin ribbons The base of the parasol is black nylon. It has a wooden handle and wooden finial. All of the trims are sewn on by hand.
