This Mid-Century Modernist umbrella stand, crafted in Italy circa 1950, fuses bold sculptural design with functional elegance—a hallmark of Italian mid-century artistry. The stand is composed of a polished brass frame paired with striking pierced metal panels finished in stunning carnelian red enamel, creating a visually dynamic and luxurious piece.

The color pairing evokes the mid-century fascination with vivid accents, carefully balanced by minimal forms.
Practical yet sculptural, this umbrella stand serves as both a functional accessory and a statement piece.
