Antique-style hat and cane stand forged from iron with copper accents, made in France and dating to the 20th century.
Description from the seller
Arts and Crafts-style hat-and-cane rack, handcrafted in iron and copper during the nineteenth century. This decorative and functional piece embodies the principles of the Arts and Crafts movement, which valued honesty in materials, handmade craftsmanship, and beauty in everyday objects.
The structure is crafted in wrought iron with sinuous and symmetrical shapes, highlighting volutes, spirals, and curved motifs that evoke the organic aesthetics of the movement. In the upper part, a heart design or double loop is formed, with a central hammered copper medallion that provides chromatic contrast and material richness. The circular base rests on three ornate legs, each with textures and reliefs that reinforce the piece's artisanal character.
This type of furniture was common in foyers or living rooms of bourgeois homes attentive to artistic design, where the aim was to combine usefulness and aesthetic expression. The use of copper as a decorative accent is typical of the style, which favored warm metals and hand-worked finishes over industrial ones.
Due to its design, materials, and craftsmanship, this cane-and-umbrella stand can be considered a representative piece of the 19th-century decorative ideal, with historical as well as artistic value. If you wish, I can help you draft a technical or commercial data sheet for a catalog, exhibition, or sale.
Certified shipping and good packaging.
