Rare and old, this hand painted Japanese rice paper peacock parasol is a terrific find and is in mint condition. The colors and detail on the peacock are extraordinarily vivid and finely rendered, and we particularly like the architectural look of the wood framing inside. In addition to the peacock, it also has hand painted flowers and another bird flying in from the right. These are very delicate, and it's unusual to find one this strong in design in such good condition and no color fading. When closed, the umbrella measures approximately 21.5" high and when opened it spreads to a diameter of at least 28.5" and is locked in place from the handle. If you have an opportunity to display a vintage rice paper parasol open somewhere in your home, it's doubtful you'll ever find one of comparable quality of beauty. /42
