Dealers Notes

**************************************

Shipping

Other than a few smaller items that can be safely posted, nearly all items are hand delivered (and set up in the case of clocks) by Martin Bros who are one of Britain’s most prestigious carriers of antiques and fine art. I wish us avoid the hassle of cheap men and their vans! The standard (subsidised) delivery price shown is for mainland UK excluding Scotland. Please ask for a Quotation where the standard price is not applicable.

**************************************

Restoration and Presented Condition

I do not subscribe to the shabby chic or make it like new approach using modern materials which can make future restoration extremely difficult and impede long-term investment value.

Any restoration work is done to the highest (museum) standards using traditional materials so as to not compromise the patina of age.

Accordingly, please note some antique items for sale will have wear and marks associated with use over many generations that adds to the aesthetic beauty of the piece from the collector’s perspective.

**************************************

Fine Art - Condition

All Paintings offered have been chosen for their excellent original condition, with where necessary museum standard cleaning, restoration and revarnishing. Presented in Gallery condition they are ready to hang for many generations, before cleaning / revarnishing may be necessary.

**************************************

Any Questions?

I just love acquiring and talking about antiques and fine art so will be pleased to discuss any of the items I have for sale on UK 07515 741344 or Richard.lench1956@gmail.com.

Best wishes Richard

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

During the Edwardian era, parasols and umbrellas served as essential fashion accessories for ladies. Silversmiths created detailed novelty handles, often featuring animal heads or stylized foliage, crafted in precious metals to reflect the owners status.

Parasols from this period typically featured sterling silver or silver-plated handles, hardwood shafts such as hazel, ash, or bamboo, and steel frame ribs supporting silk, linen, or cotton fabric canopies.

Authentic British silver handles carry official hallmark stamps, usually including a makers mark, a town mark (such as a leopards head for London), a lion passant verifying silver purity, and a date letter corresponding to the exact year of manufacture.

An antique parasol can be displayed upright within a hall stick stand, mounted inside a shallow glass display case, or arranged decoratively alongside period fashion items on a console table.

Store parasols in a temperature-controlled environment away from direct sunlight to prevent fabric degradation. Clean the silver handle gently with a soft microfibre cloth, taking care not to let silver polish touch the wooden shaft or delicate textile.
