Francesco Maglia solid stick umbrellas are assembled onto natural wooden shafts, consisting entirely of a single piece of wood, from the handle up to the top. Woodworking, still following the traditional techniques from 19th century, includes many manual steps from bending and grinding, to finishing touches like waxing. For this reason, every shaft is unique and one of a kind in the true sense. Each umbrella tip is made of turned brass, natural horn or antler.
