Antique white enamelled cast iron umbrella stand

This vintage cast iron umbrella stand features a curved silhouette, tapered at the centre like an hourglass, with a play of interlacing and openwork scrolls that visually lighten the mass of the metal. The upper part, shaped like a wide rounded handle, allows for easy movement of the piece, while the oval basin at the base, divided into two compartments, collects the water dripped from the umbrellas. The whole rests on small clawed feet, a decorative detail typical of the ornamental cast iron of this era. The white enamel, now patinated and speckled with rust spots, gives the piece its charming antiquated appeal. A perfect Art Nouveau piece to add a retro touch to your entrance.
