Bus/Financial - Furniture / Household Appliances / Company profile
German term or phrase: Schirmfurnituren
XYZ war und ist ein Familienunternehmen, 1849 gegründet als Fabrikation für Kofferbeschläge und Schirmfurnituren. Any idea what these Schirmfurnituren are?? Thanks! This is part of a company profile. To complicate matters, the company's name was not included in the text, unless the company name is really XYZ, but I doubt it.
