Eduardian-era oval umbrella stand and cane holder dating to circa 1850–1900, crafted in wood with a brass base tray, featuring turned legs, in good used condition with minor signs of age.
Description from the seller
It is an Edwardian umbrella and cane stand from the late 19th century that perfectly captures that English taste for elegant, practical, and discreetly ornamented forms. The oval structure, so characteristic of late Chippendale style reinterpreted in the Edwardian era, provides a soft, balanced silhouette: restrained curves, classical proportion, and a refined domestic air that fits both a foyer and a traditional study.
The wood, warm and well worked, displays 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 satin, preserves that gentle shine that only furniture with decades of life acquires.
At the bottom the brass tray is integrated, designed to catch the rain 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 serves its function but also adds character and a historic touch to the space where it is placed.
Tracked shipping and careful packaging.
