The appearance of an eel in Fabergé’s oeuvre is rare and may have been inspired by Japanese netsuke, which often served as a source of inspiration for the firm's hardstone carvings.
This rare parasol handle was most likely acquired by Frederick Glyn, 4th Baron Wolverton, a prominent banker and politician. Lord Wolverton married Lady Edith Ward, daughter of the 1st Earl of Dudley, whose family residences included Dudley House in London and Witley Court in Worcestershire. He served as Vice-Chamberlain of the Royal Household under King Edward VII from 1902 to 1905, and was a partner in the family banking firm Glyn, Mills & Co.
