Louna French Provincial Umbrella Stand, Crown Top, Antique Gold Metal

A crown for the hallway, holding the umbrellas by the door.

Louna is a tall umbrella stand in aged metal, finished in an antique gold washed over a near-black base. The top is cut into a row of pointed peaks, each tipped with a small ball, like a crown, and rows of little daisy studs run down the seams. A central post rises through the middle to an ornate scrolled handle, and the whole piece sits on an embossed, flared foot.

Standing about 78 cm tall, it is made for the entrance, gathering umbrellas and walking sticks by the door, though it is just as good with a bundle of dried stems for a piece of hallway character all year round.

The umbrella, dried grasses, and other items in the photographs are styling and are not included. You receive the umbrella stand on its own.

Why we love it

• ◆ Crown-shaped top, pointed peaks with ball tips that give the piece its name and its presence.
• ◆ Antique gold finish, gold worked over a dark base for a warm, aged look.
• ◆ Studded detail and a scrolled handle, rows of daisy studs down the seams and an ornate top.
• ◆ A characterful entry piece, useful by the door and lovely to look at the rest of the time.

How to style it

A few ways to use it:

• Stand it by the front door to hold umbrellas and walking sticks
• Fill it with tall dried grasses or pampas for a piece of hallway character
• Use it in a corner of the living room as a tall, sculptural accent
• Pair it with more pieces from our vases and decorative accents

Care & Keeping

Wipe with a soft, dry cloth to keep the finish looking its best, working gently around the studs and the crown. If a wet umbrella has been sitting inside, dry it out afterwards so moisture does not gather at the base. Keep it indoors and away from damp so the aged gold holds. The patina is part of the look and will soften gently over time.

Because Louna is finished by hand, the patina and tone vary a little from piece to piece, so no two are exactly alike. Colour may also vary slightly between screens, all photography is taken in natural light.
