Handmade Chinese Oil Paper Umbrella with Tassel Fringe – Traditional Heritage Parasol

The umbrella ribs are crafted from meticulously selected, thick and sturdy Moso bamboo aged over three years, sourced from remote mountain regions. Using traditional mortise-and-tenon joinery techniques, the 28 ribs are interlocked to create an oil-paper umbrella that is exceptionally robust, stable, and durable.

The fully-stitched technique, originally developed for imperial court umbrellas, represents a pinnacle of traditional craftsmanship. Renowned for its technical complexity, this method creates an exceptionally robust and durable structure capable of withstanding strong winds. Each umbrella requires meticulous hand-stitching with over 2,800 precise stitches to complete.

Tassel Details – Each tassel hangs approximately 15 cm long, falling gracefully in delicate strands. The shimmering interplay of light and shadow creates a dreamy, romantic atmosphere beneath the umbrella. With its ethereal charm, it adds an enchanting touch that makes you feel as if you’ve stepped into a fairy tale.
