This cylindrical umbrella and stick stand originates from the Edwardian period in the Chinoiserie and Japanned style. The piece uses a wooden body finished with a red japanned lacquer, augmented by hand-painted gold Chinoiserie figures, birds, pagodas, and landscapes across its surface. It is bound by three polished brass hoops, which contrast with the red background. Two umbrellas stand inside it, one with a curved wooden handle and the other with a curved black handle. The stand measures 61 cm high and 29 cm wide and deep. Today, this decorative item suits placement in a hallway beside the front door to hold walking sticks and wet-weather gear. The lacquered surface displays visible age-related patination and wear throughout while remaining stable. Its cylindrical shape provides a compact footprint for entranceways and porches in traditional English country house interiors.

FAQs

Chinoiserie is a European decorative style originating in the 17th century that imitates East Asian artistic traditions. Japanning refers to a specific European finishing technique using resin-based varnishes to replicate Asian lacquerware, often featuring gilded hand-painted landscapes, figures, and architectural motifs on a dark or coloured ground.

Edwardian umbrella stands were constructed using hardwoods such as oak or beech, frequently finished with japanned lacquer or french polish. Metal elements, including brass hoops, copper rims, or removable cast iron drip trays, were commonly incorporated to protect the timber structure from dampness.

Authentic antique japanned items exhibit signs of natural age, including micro-craquelure across the varnished surface and gentle wear along edges where gilding has softened over time. Hand-painted details display subtle artist brushwork rather than modern stencil uniformities, and original brass fittings often show natural oxidisation.

A decorative Chinoiserie stick stand serves as a striking visual focal point in an entryway, foyer, or hallway. It pairs effectively with panelling, neutral wall finishes, or dark timber flooring, providing functional storage for walking canes and umbrellas while introducing warm colour and pattern.

Maintain japanned surfaces by dusting regularly with a soft, dry lint-free cloth. Avoid chemical polishers, water contact, direct sunlight, and placement near heat sources, as dampness and heat fluctuations can cause lacquer to crack or lift from the timber substructure.
