Wood and brass oval umbrella stand dating to 1850–1900, made in the United Kingdom in antique Edwardian style with Chippendale influence, in good used condition with minor signs of age; dimensions 57 cm high, 40 cm wide, 27 cm deep.
Description from the seller
It is an Edwardian umbrella stand or cane stand from the late 19th century that perfectly captures that English taste for elegant, practical forms and discreetly ornamented touches. The oval silhouette, so characteristic of late Chippendale taste reinterpreted in the Edwardian era, offers a soft, balanced profile: restrained curves, classical proportion, and a refined domestic air that fits both an entryway and a traditional office.
The wood, warm and well crafted, shows delicate turnings on the legs and vertical supports, a detail that speaks of workshops that still cared for craftsmanship even in functional pieces. The finish, polished and slightly satinized, preserves that gentle shine that only furniture with decades of life acquires.
At the bottom, the brass tray is integrated, designed to collect the rainwater from umbrellas and canes. This element, besides being practical, introduces a material contrast very typical of English furniture of the period: the nobility of wood combined with the durability and shine of metal.
Overall, it is a piece that blends tradition, utility, and Edwardian elegance, an object that not only fulfills its function but also adds character and a historic touch to the space where it is placed.
Certified shipping and good packing.
