http://www.theflyingbedstead.com/The_Flyingbedstead/Malt47.html A tilting parasol with a handmade Maltese silk bobbin lace cover over lilac lining with a painted black wooden handle and metal spokes. Condition is very good - I cannot see any obvious damage apart from some wear to the black paint on the handle. Parasol and Maltese bobbin lace dates from the late 19th century. The lilac lining looks fairly recently made. The lace is black and the lining is lilac coloured. Measures approx. 72cm (28 1/4") long and the parasol has a diameter of 49cm (19 1/4") across when open. The lace measures 67cm (26 3/8") when measured from side to side, over the top. Price - £115.00 Click on an image to enlarge http://www.theflyingbedstead.com/The_Flyingbedstead/Malt47.html#0 75b9eeb0-6914-4e99-9fac-f1101a0ba9e0 http://www.theflyingbedstead.com/The_Flyingbedstead/Malt47_files/Media/Malt47BK1/thumb.jpg http://www.theflyingbedstead.com/The_Flyingbedstead/Malt47_files/Media/Malt47BK1/micro.jpg http://www.theflyingbedstead.com/The_Flyingbedstead/Malt47.html#1 38062db5-ded6-4c66-a865-bf8485aca4fe http://www.theflyingbedstead.com/The_Flyingbedstead/Malt47_files/Media/Malt47BK2/thumb.jpg http://www.theflyingbedstead.com/The_Flyingbedstead/Malt47_files/Media/Malt47BK2/micro.jpg http://www.theflyingbedstead.com/The_Flyingbedstead/Malt47.html#2 f98066e8-a359-4200-817b-1a728fa0baf2 http://www.theflyingbedstead.com/The_Flyingbedstead/Malt47_files/Media/Malt47BK3/thumb.jpg http://www.theflyingbedstead.com/The_Flyingbedstead/Malt47_files/Media/Malt47BK3/micro.jpg http://www.theflyingbedstead.com/The_Flyingbedstead/Malt47.html#3 a6d6d422-7baf-429b-a028-fd338e915df5 http://www.theflyingbedstead.com/The_Flyingbedstead/Malt47_files/Media/Malt47BK7/thumb.jpg http://www.theflyingbedstead.com/The_Flyingbedstead/Malt47_files/Media/Malt47BK7/micro.jpg http://www.theflyingbedstead.com/The_Flyingbedstead/Malt47.html#4 429732b2-c0d3-4310-a792-71e61273ec01 http://www.theflyingbedstead.com/The_Flyingbedstead/Malt47_files/Media/Malt47BK6/thumb.jpg http://www.theflyingbedstead.com/The_Flyingbedstead/Malt47_files/Media/Malt47BK6/micro.jpg http://www.theflyingbedstead.com/The_Flyingbedstead/Malt47.html#5 f0b28941-95ba-42e2-97e1-7ef8bd8f6174 http://www.theflyingbedstead.com/The_Flyingbedstead/Malt47_files/Media/Malt47BK8/thumb.jpg http://www.theflyingbedstead.com/The_Flyingbedstead/Malt47_files/Media/Malt47BK8/micro.jpg http://www.theflyingbedstead.com/The_Flyingbedstead/Malt47.html#6 508f9d40-6687-4cdd-94e6-797e54750d0d http://www.theflyingbedstead.com/The_Flyingbedstead/Malt47_files/Media/Malt47BK4/thumb.jpg http://www.theflyingbedstead.com/The_Flyingbedstead/Malt47_files/Media/Malt47BK4/micro.jpg http://www.theflyingbedstead.com/The_Flyingbedstead/Malt47.html#7 18de8884-2b34-4d74-9682-031fb76c720b http://www.theflyingbedstead.com/The_Flyingbedstead/Malt47_files/Media/Malt47BK5/thumb.jpg http://www.theflyingbedstead.com/The_Flyingbedstead/Malt47_files/Media/Malt47BK5/micro.jpg
