A rare Faberge umbrella which lay undiscovered for years in a house in Devon has sold for £17,500.
The umbrella was with some old walking canes which were given to the unnamed owner by her mother-in-law when she moved home.
According to Martin McIlroy of the auction house:
The Faberge parasol handle was enamelled, gold, bowenite and rose diamond mounted. The pale green bowenite ball above a collar decorated with translucent pink guilloche enamel with applied gold wreaths of laurel and between rose-diamond set bands. Stamped with workmaster Michail Perchin, St Petersburg marks.
