Elegant Gentleman’s Umbrella with Bamboo Handle and sterling silver collar – Early 20th Century This refined gentleman’s umbrella is a beautiful example of early 20th-century craftsmanship. It is a manual umbrella retaining its original black canopy, which remains clean and well preserved for its age. The piece features a striking curved bamboo handle with a warm natural patina, complemented by a hallmarked sterling silver collar, clearly visible in the close-up photographs. The metal frame with eight ribs opens and closes smoothly, and the wooden shaft retains its original dark finish, now showing some age-appropriate surface wear. The metal ferrule at the tip likewise displays natural wear consistent with its period. Overall, the umbrella remains in good antique condition. The bamboo handle is solid, the mechanism functions properly, and the original canopy fabric is intact. Minor marks on the silver collar and some wear to the ferrule and shaft can be seen, though these do not detract from the umbrella’s elegance or authenticity. Likely dating from around 1910–1930, it makes an excellent addition to a collection of antique accessories or a stylish prop for period display. Please refer closely to the photographs, as they form an important part of the description. The umbrella will be carefully packaged and shipped with tracking and insurance.
