Handmade in Italy and dating to the 1960s, this sculptural umbrella stand is a refined example of Italian modernist craftsmanship and organic design. The piece is expertly handcrafted by bending and securing slender rattan canes into a striking open spiral structure, creating a light and airy silhouette that is both functional and highly decorative. Beautiful woven rattan fiber bindings reinforce and embellish the curved cane framework, highlighting the artisanal quality and sophisticated detailing associated with high-end Italian rattan furniture of the period. A custom white ceramic bowl fitted at the base serves as a drip tray, designed to collect excess water from umbrellas while protecting floors — an elegant and practical detail that enhances the overall functionality of the piece. Presented in original and well-preserved vintage condition, the umbrella stand has undergone a thorough professional cleaning and has been treated with a protective wax finish to preserve its rich patina and warm natural color acquired over time. This rare rattan umbrella stand embodies the timeless sophistication of 1960s Italian design. See less
