A very rare find. This Malacca style is discontinued and no longer in production, making it very unique and a highly sought-after collector’s item. This umbrella features solid one piece wooden construction and, coincidentally, a Prince of Wales plaid nylon canopy and matching sleeve to protect the umbrella when not in use.

When you unfold the umbrella, its curves are exceptionally beautiful and it has a unique presence. Its silhouette exudes a unique atmosphere of British classicism, making it truly a British umbrella enjoyed by sophisticated adults.
