Antique French Cast Iron Faux Bamboo Hat, Coat & Umbrella Stand c.1890–1900

This exceptional French hat, coat and umbrella stand features an elegant faux bamboo design and retains its original foundry patination, beautifully enriched over more than a century to a deep, rich colour. The renowned Deville Foundry of Charleville, France, produced this superb piece between 1890 and 1910, reflecting the quality and craftsmanship for which the foundry became famous. The stand offers wonderfully practical storage, with an abundance of hat and coat hooks and its original white enamel drip trays providing a dedicated place for umbrellas. Its pleasing proportions, decorative detailing and enduring functionality make it equally suited to a period property, country house or contemporary interior. Combining elegance, utility and genuine French heritage, this is a striking statement piece that remains as relevant today as when it was first created. Height 196cm - ~Width 65cm - Depth 30cm
