This umbrella stand from 1970s Germany presents a form rooted in mid-century modern aesthetics—a simple cylindrical silhouette crafted from brass sheet, topped with signature spherical details. The dominant note is a warm, golden hue achieved through polished brass, which reflects light and accentuates the hammered, lively surface texture. The evenly applied hammering and precisely defined edges point to artisanal craftsmanship. Measuring 63 cm in height and 20 cm in width, the stand offers practical proportions, while its open design ensures ease of use. Subtle patina and natural darkening appear along the edges, highlighting its vintage authenticity. Condition is good: minor scratches and patina are present, with no significant damage.
This piece seems to recount the spirit of the 1970s, when metalwork combined daily function with understated ornament. The golden surface, brightened by daylight, evokes an era of postwar optimism and attention to detail. The hammered pattern is not just decorative—it’s a record of craftsmanship, each mark a fleeting trace of the maker’s hand. Patina and discoloration bear witness to passing years, suggesting a history of daily use and quiet presence in a home’s entryway.
The umbrella stand could be placed in a hallway, where it would pair well with other metal or wooden accents—such as a 1960s coat rack or a simple bench upholstered in wool. Interiors with a mid-century modern character, eclectic arrangements with retro undertones, or spaces featuring a warm color palette will best showcase its decorative potential. It would also serve as a focal accent in a minimalist foyer, where the golden brass could stand out against neutral walls and natural textiles.
