A light-up fluorescent street umbrella from Ridley Scott's sci-fi classic Blade Runner. Set in 2019 Los Angeles, the film depicts a dystopian rain-soaked city whose inhabitants carried umbrellas, and replicant Zhora (Joanna Cassidy) used them as cover while fleeing from Rick Deckard (Harrison Ford). This lot comes from the family of Blade Runner archivist Geoff Hutchins.

This umbrella comprises a red nylon canopy painted black on the exterior; an acrylic shaft encasing a fluorescent tube; and a black enamel-and-resin ball handle with a black rubber plug cable protruding from it. The umbrella is presented on a custom wooden display plinth, which is painted black and features an acrylic plaque, on which the film's title and a description of the piece are engraved. The umbrella's shaft lights up when it is connected via a cable that runs from the bottom of its handle to a 12V power supply concealed within the plinth, and activated using a switch on the plinth. The lot exhibits paint wear, chips to the enamel handle, and glue residue from production use. Dimensions: 131 cm x 105 cm x 105 cm (51 1/2" x 41 1/4" x 41 1/4")

Contains electronics; see electronics notice in the Buyer's Guide.
