AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Very decorative vintage umbrella stand / umbrella holder / umbrella bucket. It probably originates from the Netherlands.
The rack is 65 cm high, the width and depth at the top are 30 cm, and the weight is about 2.5 kg.
Because of the material used (wire mesh), the rack has an industrial appearance. Also the way it is made is not refined, but functional and industrial. It probably dates from the 1950s. It might even be a little older. So it is made of welded wire mesh shaped like an umbrella and then powder-coated white. The whole is screwed onto a very nice cast-iron base (floral motif), which not only provides the correct weight to stand stably, but also a nice appearance. The paint was applied to protect the metal against rust. The rust spots and buildup that the white paint accrues after years give this kind of material a very beautiful vintage look. In the 1950s (1953), the Dutch company Tomado began making these kinds of household items from coated wire, but that is not the case for this rack, hence it can be dated to the early 1950s and perhaps even late 1940s.
The rack still looks very good and is still completely stable. The paint has marks from 75 years of use, but this can be cleaned off. This, by the way, would be a pity, because it forms a very beautiful patina over the piece! Here and there the metal is visible through the paint, but it is not rusted. The only rust visible is in the steel tray at the bottom of the rack. Through umbrellas and walking sticks, the paint has been damaged and those damaged spots have rusted through. The tray, however, is still thick and watertight.
This vintage umbrella stand is still 100% stable and robust and elegant at the same time. The graceful S-shapes give the rack an Art Nouveau look, and especially against a dark background the piece has a very chic appearance!
In every interior, classic but also modern, this umbrella stand is a graceful and decorative piece of furniture!
The rack will be carefully packed and insured for shipment.
