It comes from a former Parisian brasserie and perfectly embodies the Art Nouveau style with its organic lines and finely chiseled decorative details.

Crafted entirely from cast iron, it features a richly ornamented openwork structure, featuring arabesques, foliage, and stylized floral motifs, characteristic of the artistic movement that flourished during the Belle Époque. The base features a white enameled cast iron receptacle designed to collect water from umbrellas, which is both functional and decorative.

At 154 cm high, this majestic piece can hold a large quantity of coats, hats, and accessories. It can also be wall-mounted thanks to two discreet holes located at the back of the structure.
