Folding parasol with case and instructions, made by Thomas Weeks and silver by George Creak, probably London, 1810-1811. Folding parasol with case and instructions. The parasol with a green silk canopy, the edge is trimmed with cream silk fringe. Telescoping silver handle. Made in eight triangular segments, and when open has a flat conical outline with a slight peak at the ferrule end. There are eight ribs, which like the stretchers, are probably made of steel. They are hinged in the middle so that they can be folded to reduce the parasol to one third in length. The top notch is concealed with a green silk washer with a pinked edge, and the top spring is covered with a ruched green casing. A series of stays with a loop, made from matching green silk ribbon, is attached inside. The stick consists of three tapering silver rods, arranged telescopically, so that they will collapse inside one another when the parasol is folded. They expand into a rounded handle. The ferrule end is silver and there is a silk covered ring which slips over it to hold the parasol closed. The rib tips are covered with green silk. The parasol's function is described in the instructions written in ink on paper. According to the instructions, it can also be used as a fan. The cylindrical case is of red morocco leather on card with a slip-on cover at each end which is faced with navy blue morocco. Silk trimmed with fringe, steel, silver, paper, morocco leather and hand-sewn.
