"Antique Asian Umbrella Handle - Chinese Dragon"
Antique Asian umbrella handle, finely decorated in relief with an imperial dragon among the clouds. The top bears the character 福 (happiness, prosperity). This beautiful collector's item, carefully crafted in the Chinese tradition of the late 19th - early 20th century, measures 22 cm in length. The material probably appears to be silver (untested), with a beautiful old patina. Overall in good condition, there is however a small defect on the socket (visible in the photo), without detracting from its charm or authenticity.
