Fox Umbrella Navy & Whangee Handle & Gold Collar 9ct 1954 VINTAGE
Mr Thomas Fox opened in 1868 a shop in the City of London to sell umbrellas. Fox Umbrellas have built a worldwide reputation for building umbrellas that are constructed to the highest levels of quality. To consistently achieve this the company relies on skilled hand workers, and not a machine, to construct their reliable yet stylish products.
This Fox umbrella with its Paragon steel frame, made after WW2, has been carefully factory restored. Recently Fox Umbrellas carried out this skilled work in their London workshop, most likely in the same building it was originally constructed.
An exquisite vintage Fox umbrella fitted with a Whangee (bamboo) cane handle. Its durable metal frame, made of strong Sheffield steel, has been factory serviced. Re-fitted with a brand new waterproof canopy in stylish navy.
The shaft was personalised by the original owner with a collar plated with 9ct hallmarked gold. The collar is unmarked and can be engraved with the new owner's initials. The hallmarks accurately date this beautiful vintage umbrella by Fox to 1958.
In excellent condition, fully functioning, showing few signs of wear.
