19thC STERLING MOTHER OF PEARL PARASOL HANDLE c1885
A superb, ornate Victorian period 8-1/8" long sterling and mother-of-pearl parasol handle c1875-90. This Victorian fashion accessory consists of a 2" wide fancy oval shape repousse sterling handle, a finely formed paneled middle section of lustrous genuine mother-of-pearl and a sterling silver repousse end. You can see a hole at the end - this was where the wood parasol stem was inserted. Marked simply STERLING (on both top and bottom sections), this handle has a fancy McD monogram. Although its original use was for a parasol, it could also be re-cycled as a handle for a walking stick, and it is in remarkably fine condition for its age and use, with no chips, cracks, corrosion, losses, damage or repairs. There are some expected small shallow dents in various spots in the silver from use, none too serious, and it does not detract from the attractive overall appearance. All items are thoroughly and conservatively graded and all condition issues are noted; all items are secondhand and may have slight signs of gentle use. Surface tracked shipping to the U.S. starts at $19 (other spots may vary) - insurance and tracking is included in shipping quotes. Items paid with a credit card will be shipped to confirmed addresses only. We do ship internationally. All of our prices are in $US. PLEASE NOTE: We DO NOT accept Paypal.
