Miniature Candlestick Mushroom - Parasol

Parasol mushrooms are prominent throughout European folklore. In Scotland, legend has it that fairies sit atop Parasol mushrooms and use them as dinner tables. In Wales, fairies supposedly use them as umbrellas. 

This little parasol mushroom is made from spun cotton and protrudes from a miniature vintage brass candlestick. The candlestick has been polished but retains some of its patina indicative of its history. 

Altogether, this ornament stands approximately 7.5 inches tall and 2.5 inches at it's widest point.
