Vintage Christian Dior Horlogerie Pocket Watch Print Umbrella

This is a luxury vintage umbrella from the Christian Dior house, featuring a complex 'Horlogerie' or watch-themed graphic print. The canopy is constructed from high-quality polyester or silk fabric with an ivory-white ground, featuring a vibrant red border along the scalloped edge. The central motif consists of various illustrated antique pocket watches, chains, and fobs in gold, blue, and silver tones. Many of the watch faces and charms prominently display the 'CD' monogram or the 'Christian Dior' full name, serving as a manufacturer's mark integral to the design. The construction appears sturdy with visible ribs creating a classic domed shape. The tip features a wooden ferrule with a black cap, suggesting a traditional cane-style umbrella design from the late 20th century, likely the 1980s or 1990s. The overall condition looks very good with crisp colors and no immediate signs of tearing or staining, though slight tension lines are visible at the seams. This item reflects the house's penchant for using scarf patterns as lifestyle accessories during many of their classic collections.
