Expertly cast in the form of a wide-eyed owl, this piece combines folk-art whimsy with mid-century industrial durability. The owl features a wonderfully detailed "feather" pierced-work body, allowing for airflow to dry umbrellas quickly, while the distinctive large concentric eyes provide a bold, graphic silhouette.
Measuring a versatile 19 inches tall, this stand is perfectly sized for covered porches, mudrooms, or foyer alcoves. It features an integrated wrap-around retaining rail and a classic double-well basin/drip tray at the base to catch runoff. The piece boasts a beautiful, authentic aged patina with rich rusted oxidation that highlights its textural details. Whether used for classic walking sticks or modern umbrellas, this "Wise Guard" is a functional sculpture that brings character to any home. See less
