Umbrella stand/rack - Gilt bronze

It embodies an opulent style, often inspired by Baroque or French fashions such as Louis XVI or the Napoleonic era. The mounting is richly decorated with floral motifs, acanthus foliage, scrolling, and garlands. The central crystal is encased and supported by a lightweight yet refined metal "cage" that enhances its brilliance. The base is typically solid and coordinated with the decorations. In addition to serving as a flower vase, these objects are regarded as precious decorative accessories or centerpieces for refined interiors.
