Umbrella Stand by Mathieu Matégot, France, 1950s An elegant and highly collectible umbrella stand attributed to the renowned French designer Mathieu Matégot, produced in France during the 1950s, a defining period of mid-century modern design. This sculptural piece showcases Matégot’s signature use of perforated and galvanized metal, combined here with brass accents and a striking gold and red color palette. The design is both functional and decorative, reflecting the playful yet refined aesthetic for which Matégot is celebrated. The umbrella stand dates to the 1950–1959 design and production period and, while unsigned, is confidently attributed based on form, materials, and construction typical of Matégot’s work. The piece remains in excellent vintage condition, retaining its near-original appearance with only minimal signs of age-appropriate wear and possible light restorations, consistent with careful use over time. A rare and sophisticated addition to any interior, ideal for collectors of mid-century modern, French design, or Mathieu Matégot originals. Designer: Mathieu Matégot (attributed) Country of manufacture: France Period: 1950s A timeless statement piece that combines utility with iconic mid-century design.
