Not just beautiful, but very well made. A very solid parasol with beautifully detailed painted artwork of painted Crane. I still have it, and it still works, up and down__3 years later!!!
I wanted a feminine, delicate-looking (yet sturdy) parasol to wear with Regency period costume. This fit the bill perfectly, and also looks smashing with modern-day clothes. And, of course, it keeps my fair skin cool and shaded from the summer sun.
I got the peacock parasol and a dragon one. The artwork is delightful! I'm moving soon and am looking forward to decorating my new place with colorful items from around the world. I wish Nikom and his family much success!
