The final parasols
These parasols have about 22"-24" diameter across the parasol when open.
We did similar parasols for the 1860 period for the movie Cold Mountain.
They appeared in the hospital scene where he was recuperating, walking outside.
We offer a class on making those parasol and recovering period frames- just follow the links below.
