7444
A wonderfully decorative umbrella-shaped stick stand, dating from circa 1940. Fashioned in brass and painted metal, this charming hall stand combines practical purpose with the playful, sculptural design typical of the period.
Modelled as an open umbrella, the stand has a warm brass framework and painted metal canopy, creating an appealing contrast of materials and finish. The canopy forms a generous holder for walking sticks and umbrellas, while its shaped construction gives the piece a distinctive presence even when not in use. More than a simple household accessory, it is a characterful decorative object that brings a note of glamour and whimsy to an entrance hall.
The design reflects the enduring appeal of novelty furniture and accessories from the interwar and mid-20th-century period, when familiar everyday forms were often reimagined in metal for the home. Its umbrella form is both clever and immediately recognisable, making it an especially engaging addition to an interior.
Ideal for a hallway, cloakroom, boot room, or covered entrance, this unusual stick stand would suit both traditional and eclectic settings. A practical and visually striking piece of decorative metalwork, with the kind of individuality that makes it a memorable focal point in the home.
