Material: 90% painted iron, 8% plastic, 2% brass

I estimate this umbrella stand was created in the 90s or 2000s.


It is in great vintage condition with minimal defects.


Please see photos for some minor chips - they are all very small.


This particular umbrella stand can be found in the Fornasetti - The Complete Universe reference book on page 463. This design was first issued in the 1950s and reissued each decade. This was also made in black and white.
