Condition report:
The cream umbrella material to one of the umbrella’s is in very poor condition - in tatters, and another also poor, the third is protected by a cover but also very fragile.
The handles are invariably tarnishing and with dirt to the recesses and extremities. Various marcasite flower heads are missing. The other green stone mounted handle with tarnishing to the metal mounts, the stone could be green dyed chalcedony. The example by Dupuy with some wear and tarnishing to the lacquer on a banded area. The green hard stone with faceted rock crystal bands with a chip to one of the facets along the top band, see images.
All with scuffs and scratches to the shafts and ferrule ends. See extra images.
