This Asian paper parasol, presumably dating back to the 1950s based on similar models from the period, is a fascinating example of traditional craftsmanship, ideal for oriental‑style décor, photo shoots, vintage collecting, and scenic decorative setups.
The paper surface features a rich decorative motif with stylised dragons and a depiction of a traditional Eastern city—iconic elements of Asian imagery and highly sought after in the world of ethnic home décor. The border is embellished with geometric patterns and decorative characters, while the wooden structure preserves the authentic charm of the era. The item shows signs of age‑related wear, clearly visible in the photos, confirming its genuineness and historical character.
This parasol is perfect as a decorative element, for themed arrangements, photo shoots, or to enrich a collection of oriental objects. The paper maintains a strong and evocative aesthetic, ideal for those seeking a distinctive décor piece with traditional appeal.
Important notice: as often happens with vintage parasols, the internal ribs may slip out of their safety tracks during opening. It is recommended to open it initially to three‑quarters to ensure that all ribs are correctly aligned in their tracks, preventing them from piercing the paper. The last three photos show, for demonstration purposes, the recommended opening level and the ribs in question.
