Description from the seller
Exceptional Antique Solid Bronze Umbrella Stand / Cane Holder - Figurative Victorian / Art Nouveau Style
This magnificent antique bronze umbrella stand is a collector's piece that merges art and functionality. Dated approximately from the early to mid-20th century, its design is heavily influenced by the Victorian and Art Nouveau styles, highly sought after in the antique market.
The piece stands out for its imposing central figure of a man, who could represent a hunter or a vintner, holding the upper ring where the umbrellas or canes rest. This figurative iconography is rare and highly sought after, which raises its value.
Main Features
Material: High-quality solid bronze (not just brass plated), which gives it considerable weight (these pieces often exceed 6 kg) and great sturdiness.
Design: rich, detailed ornamentation with motifs of volutes, plant tendrils, and organic elements that flow around the main figure, reflecting Art Nouveau's nature-inspired aesthetic.
Base: A wide and stable base with ornamental feet that ensure its balance and collect the water from the umbrellas.
Patina: The bronze displays a natural, aged patina, indicative of its antiquity and the care it has received over the decades.
Versatility: It works perfectly as both an umbrella stand and a cane rack—a versatile piece for a luxury foyer or an entry with character.
