19th Century Aesthetic Movement Mahogany and Brass Umbrella Stand - A late 19th-century Aesthetic Movement mahogany umbrella and stick stand featuring decorative ceramic tiles. The stand is constructed from mahogany with an upright back and scrolled side supports. A central paneled column leads down to a recessed base which houses a removable dark-finished metal drip tray. A horizontal brass rail is held in place by two perpendicular rods attached to the back panel. The back is inset with three ceramic tiles decorated with yellow lilies and a central classical urn, surmounted by a gilt-metal wreath and ribbon cresting. The lower panel displays two brass fan-shaped corner plates and a small arched brass plaque that reads ”RD 187032”.
