Walking stick (11) - Copper, Wood

Hand-beaten antique copper umbrella stand with a collection of 10 walking sticks in various woods

The hand-beaten copper umbrella stands represent the pinnacle of European metalworking craftsmanship between 1920 and 1960, when these functional objects were elevated to true decorative works of art. The handmade hammering of the copper gives each piece a unique and irregular texture, a testament to artisanal work. The walking sticks, crafted from precious woods such as ebony, bamboo, chestnut, and exotic timbers, were essential accessories for the masculine and feminine elegance of the era, often featuring handles in silver, ivory, or horn.

This set is particularly sought after by collectors of historical handicrafts, by vintage accessory enthusiasts, and by interior designers looking for authentic pieces for classical or eclectic-style interiors. The hand-beaten copper umbrella stand, with its collection of canes, represents an investment that is both aesthetic and historical, evoking the refined elegance of an era in which every detail of clothing and furnishings carried social meaning. The ensemble creates a focal point of great visual impact, perfect for entryways, studies, and living spaces that celebrate traditional craftsmanship and the history of fashion.
