the umbrella along with others and a few walking sticks were going to be given to the local charity shop, after being inherited by the new owner, but something about this one made her take it to a jewellers shop, guess what? the handle was made by Michail Perchin, a craftsman at the House of Fabergé who worked closely with the famous Russian jeweller in the 19th century to revive the technique of guilloche enamelling, the umbrella went under the hammer at Bearnes Hampton and Littlewood in Exeter and sold for £17,500, now why is it things like this never happen to me?

there it was in an umbrella stand for years,
the umbrella along with others and a few walking sticks were going to be given to the local charity shop, after being inherited by the new owner, but something about this one made her take it to a jewellers shop, guess what? the handle was made by Michail Perchin, a craftsman at the House of Fabergé who worked closely with the famous Russian jeweller in the 19th century to revive the technique of guilloche enamelling, the umbrella went under the hammer at Bearnes Hampton and Littlewood in Exeter and sold for £17,500, now why is it things like this never happen to me?
