Beech umbrella stands imitating bamboo from the 1930s.

Beech umbrella stand imitating bamboo from the 1930s. France. Stained beech umbrella stand, turned "faux bamboo", typical of the enthusiasm for exoticism that surged in the 1920s-30s. The top ring serves as a handle and crowns four fluted supports joined by a round base. At the bottom, a round brass basin collects water — a practical and elegant detail. The small ball feet ensure stability and protect the floor. Beautiful warm patina, uniform signs of age. A decorative and functional piece, in the style of Parisian workshops from the interwar period.
