ABOUT PRODUCTID 37842
This umbrella stand, inspired by the style of Mathieu Matégot, exemplifies French mid-century modernism from the 1950s—a period when the interplay of lightness and function began to redefine the everyday object. The structure features finely perforated, matte white metal sheet, set within a slender frame of metal rods. Its round, weighty brass base displays a pronounced patina, rich discoloration, and authentic traces of use. A tall arm is finished with a light, ribbed plastic handle—both a practical detail and a subtle color accent typical of the mid-20th century. The open, flared silhouette and visible construction joints emphasize an architectural, industrial spirit true to the era. The umbrella stand is in very good vintage condition: both the brass and the white metal show signs of age and use, preserved as genuine patina.The form of this object tells the story of postwar France, when design was meant to organize daily life without sacrificing refined sophistication. The perforated metal echoes the era’s pursuit of new materials and techniques, while the interplay between matte white and warm brass channels the spirit of the time—a balance of industrial origin and elegance. Every scratch, mark, and layer of patina reads as a chapter of history; the stand brings a subtle dialogue between Parisian modernism and authentic vintage into any interior.This umbrella stand will be at home in a bright hallway or entryway of a 1950s or 1960s residence, where white and brass provide a striking counterpoint to classic parquet or stone floors. It may be paired with a minimalist console, a mirror in a gold frame, or a geometric wall rack to highlight its architectural rhythm. The piece works well within mid-century modern interiors as well as eclectic collector’s spaces—especially alongside other accessories with industrial or artisanal roots.
