Antique French Iron and Zinc Umbrella Stand (Early 20th Century)

A beautiful piece of authentic French brocante that brings effortless rustic charm to any entryway.

Dating back to the early 1900s, this minimalist umbrella and cane stand features a slender tubular iron frame retaining its original, beautifully distressed reddish-brown paint. The base holds a removable oval zinc drip tray, which reveals a striking and highly weathered pale blue painted interior. The stark, industrial silhouette combined with the rich, time-worn patina makes it a perfect functional accent for both country homes and modern, eclectic interiors.

Technical Details & Condition:

• Origin: France.

• Material: Tubular iron frame and a removable zinc drip tray.

• Dimensions: Height 64 cm | Width 50 cm | Depth 23 cm.
