Edwardian English brass umbrella stand in the Aesthetic Movement taste, with a heavy iron-weighted base and traces of original cold-painted polychrome detail in the cartouches. The form is the reason to look twice. The piece is scaled down from a full hall umbrella stand, complete with curved crest rail, foliate capitals, X-form open sides centered on a diamond cartouche, and a demilune cup at the foot to catch the tips. Marked with a registered design number to the iron flange of the base, partially legible. The original iron weight is intact and the brass retains a mellow honest surface throughout.

Condition

The piece is in good honest antique condition with age-appropriate wear throughout. The cast brass body retains a mellow original surface with a soft mustard tone and scattered light verdigris in the recesses and around the bolt heads, particularly visible at the underside of the base and around the registered design mark. The original cold-painted polychrome details in the diamond cartouche and the base rosette have worn down to faint traces of blue-green color in the deeper recesses, consistent with use. The brass shows scattered small dents, light surface scratches, and a few areas of darker oxidation, none of which compromise the form. The cast iron weight insert is intact and seated in the base. The bolted joints are tight and the piece stands square and stable. The registered design number to the iron flange is visible but only partially legible due to surface corrosion and the recess of the stamping. No losses, no breaks, no repairs noted.
