EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures a piece of history in the form of a luxurious woman's umbrella, known as a 'Royal Drooko', manufactured by Joseph Wright in Glasgow, Scotland between 1895-1910. Made from silk, mother-of-pearl, and gold, this exquisite accessory is a true testament to the craftsmanship of the time.
The black silk cover is complemented by Japanned metal ribs, a metal stretcher, cane stick, wooden spike, and brass ferrule. The straight tapered handle features gilt embossed metal accents and an inscription that reads 'Mrs A G E Miller, Paisley' on the mother of pearl middle section. A purple corded silk with tassel tied around the stick adds an elegant touch to this already opulent design.
With its intricate details and fine materials used in its construction, this Royal Drooko umbrella is not just a functional accessory but also a work of art. It provides us with a glimpse into the fashion trends of the late 19th to early 20th centuries in Scotland.
This print serves as a reminder of the beauty and elegance that can be found in everyday objects from our past. It is truly a treasure worth preserving for future generations to admire and appreciate.
