FRENCH ART DECO CHROMED STEEL AND EBONIZED WOOD UMBRELLA STAND
Circa 1930 | unmarked
Item # 402BPK08P
This sleek and angular umbrella stand is as austere as it is interesting. Stark angularity is emphasized with the alternating rays of black and chrome, the voids in the metal revealing the ebonized wood liner while the presence of chrome results in a sense of negative space that allows the form to nearly disappear.
France, ca. 1930s.
