Art Deco umbrella stand in walnut with staves and ring handles, 1930.

French Art Deco umbrella stand made around 1930 from assembled walnut staves. Its cylindrical shape with balanced proportions is enhanced by two hand-carved circular handles, an emblematic detail that gives it an elegant graphic presence. The warm grain and amber tones of the walnut highlight the craftsmanship of this French artisanal piece. Its simple and modern design fits within the transition between Art Deco and the early influences of Scandinavian modernism. Dimensions: height 46 cm, diameter 22.5 cm. Generally in good condition with some signs of use and slight localized chips on the upper edge, consistent with the age of the object.
