A handsome Arts & Crafts oak umbrella and stick stand, dating to the early 20th century, with a wonderfully simple architectural form.
Constructed in solid oak, the stand features distinctive curved upper rails, square uprights with shaped feet and decorative turned wooden bosses to the front. The open framework provides ample space for walking sticks and umbrellas, with the original-style black metal drip tray retained below.
The oak has developed a lovely warm colour and patina, while its particularly narrow depth makes it an extremely practical piece for a hallway or entrance where space is limited.
A very attractive and useful example of Arts & Crafts design.
