About MeThis ladies art deco parasol has a green silk cover decorated with small black polka dots and stylised flowers and the cover is lined with pink silk.

There is a green silk tie with a metal ring attached to it that can be fastened around the parasol with a white pearlised button.

The brown wooden stick is attached to eight stretchers that are in turn attached to eight metal ribs and the wooden spike has a metal ferrule.

The unmarked silver tapering or billiard cue handle has peacocks, other birds, flowers and foliage carved in relief.
