This piece showcases the stunning craftsmanship of Imperial Russian metalwork from the 19th century, including an elegant tall tapered brass body, contrasting copper bands, flared base, and marked underside.

The construction is exceptionally substantial, with a tall slender profile that feels more like decorative sculpture than a utilitarian umbrella stand. The warm brass body is accented by two copper bands, while the flared top has a wonderfully organic, almost jack-in-the-pulpit shape.

Based on the underside mark, materials, construction, and close comparison to known examples, this piece is believed to date to the late 19th century, circa 1890s, and is attributed to Imperial Russian manufacture. Its narrow, dramatic silhouette would look incredible in an Arts & Crafts, Victorian, eclectic, maximalist, Old World, or collected interior. A rare and highly decorative antique metalwork piece with strong visual presence and fascinating Imperial Russian attribution.
