Beautiful Vintage Italian Gold Embossed Leather Umbrella Case

Description

This is a Beautiful Vintage Italian Gold Embossed Leather Umbrella Case.
The listing is for the empty case ONLY; as found it did not have an umbrella with it.
The country of origin is not marked as Italy, but the case exhibits the style and quality that is the hallmark of fine Italian leather craftsmen.  I am fairly confident that this attribution is correct, and we will 100% guarantee your satisfaction with your purchase.  The case was purchased from an estate and is thought to be circa Mid Century.
The leather is a rich golden-brown color, with gold embossed designs.  I took a number of photos of the case to try and get the color right, including adjusting the contrast and brightness. The color seen is pretty close, but I would say that the actual shade of brown is a bit lighter with a more golden tone than is apparent in the photos.
Please note that the case is monogrammed BM on one side as seen.  Although any item of fine leather can obviously be monogrammed, free monogramming for tourist leather purchases, is a common offering at the leather making shops in Florence and other cities, and I think that adds to the likelihood that this case is Italian.
The case is 12 3/4″ long , exclusive of the clasp, and the useful chain for carrying and for hanging on a coat hook.  The outside width is about 2 12/” at the top, tapering to about 1 3/4″ at the bottom, and the maximum overall depth is about 1 3/4″.  The case is obvious made for a tapered, compact umbrella.  The inside length measurement is about 12″.
The inside of the case is unlined and the gray / neutral color seen is the unfinished side of the outer leather.
The frame and chain are made from a brass colored leather.
Condition
The case is in very good condition with just a little light wear toward the top adjacent to the clasp, and on the bottom, as seen in a pair of closeup photos.
