Parasol: 1870s Linen

Costume Page

 

This is a fairly small parasol, probably dating to the 1870's or 1880's.  The handle was snapped clean off during shipping, so it shouldn't be too difficult to mend.  The fabric, which looks like a dotted linen with a silk ribbon edge to it, needs to be replaced.  The tassel is in fairly good condition if I can just clean it up a bit.
