Mid C19th Cast-iron Country House Stick or Umbrella Stand of Gothic Design.

Mid C19th cast-iron country house stick or umbrella stand of gothic design.

Well-proportioned large cast-iron stick-stand with gothic tracery pattern cast upright ends with integrally cast handles and finial tops .

The open top cast and divided with 24 circular apertures providing space for multiple sticks , canes , riding crops or umbrellas. The divided base section fitted with 2 detachable/removable ‘drip’ trays , which have been skilfully re-manufactured and replaced to the exact design of the broken and worn originals . The stepped out corners of the multi-stepped design base raised on integrally cast feet . The reverse with a flatter profile to fit closer to a wall or skirting board .

Probably designed for the hallway of a country house or perhaps club .

In excellent condition with no breaks, damage or repairs. Has an apparently original black painted finish , and benefits from not having had multiple layers of paint applied to obscure the detailed casting .
