Parasol
Featured is the quintessential 1880s parasol that would have been carried to compliment the exaggerated bustle of the period. Made by a renowned umbrella and parasol maker, Follmer, Clogg & Company, the handle is particularly attractive. Perhaps what makes this parasol special is its size, which relates well to the volume of the dresses popular in the period.
