Parasol
Not on view
The marquise parasol was named after Madame de Pompadour, who purportedly invented it for the purposes of coquetry. The top could be tilted in various angles for flirtation and protection from the sun. The embossed floral motif on the lining edge of this parasol is a lovely accompaniment to the marquise.
