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.

Stylist's Tip
If you are using it for umbrellas, sit a small dish or a folded cloth in the bottom to catch drips. It keeps the inside dry and the floor clear on a rainy day.
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.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the umbrella included?
No. The umbrella and the dried grasses are styling only. You receive the umbrella stand on its own.
Does it need assembling?
Only lightly. The centre handle post fits into the base, which also keeps the carton a sensible size for shipping. No tools are needed.
How tall is it?
About 78 cm tall and 24 cm across, a proper floor-standing piece for an entry or a corner.
What can I put in it?
Umbrellas and walking sticks are the natural fit, and it also looks wonderful filled with tall dried stems or pampas when you want it purely decorative.
Is it for indoor use?
Yes, best kept indoors. It is finished for inside the home, so keep it out of the weather to protect the aged gold.
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.

I enjoyed reading the Chateau Styling Guide very much. I appreciate the collection of beautiful pieces Lucie has made available to her clients. And I agree with the idea that one should never ‘rush’ to complete a room or your home. It is so satisfying to finally find that one special piece you know will add to the look of your home. Thank you so much for this booklet. It will be a great resource to refer to.
I have never been a clock-watcher, but all that changed with Maude. I can't stop looking at her. Out of the box, slip in an AA battery and on to the wall, just like that! She is simply gorgeous.
This is a present for my horse loving daughter in law. I'm sure it will take pride of place on her mantle piece. Again I love this Web site which I will be visiting often.
Found this beautiful elegant Swan for my garden online via a search at Chateau Living. A great price, quality and excellent ordering and delivery. Would definitely purchase from this business again. They have such a beautiful variety of products.
It was my testing the waters first purchase to check out this new store & what’s on offer. I loved the idea of supplying cast iron cute animal figurines as they’re practical, good looking, solid durable material, great rust finish (no need to buy expensive rust effect paint). Just ready to weather and brings a smile on your dial. I placed my frog with his hands up as if in religious praying gesture next to the concrete funny sign scored at Vinnies reading: grant me patience Lord but hurry - I believe the praying frog and the sign go comically together. I’m thinking of getting the other frog too in its hilarious pose possibly in green patina for contrast. I can confirm it’s heavy cast iron with attractive rust patina. These casts fill the gap in the market dominated by laser cut cortina steel offerings. Just something old school different and complimentary to your garden /house decor. Pleased it’s introduced to Australian market and once for change not made in China… but in France known for its cast iron tradition. We own 18th century French anvil won at an antique auction which is our proud possession so happy to score more in heavy casts.
This may not show on the store website that well but they’re actually old gold colour. It’s lightweight thin metal so perhaps inside or sheltered outdoor space would suit them the best as it may rust out & some fragile parts of the tail break exposed to the weather. They’re as large as described, cleverly designed for packaging - legs are separate with tightening screw. They make an impact due to their size & fit almost any decor with the colour & style.
I was so happy with Chateau Living. Brilliant customer service & speedy delivery. How lucky we are to have an Australian option giving us all these beautiful items for our homes. Highly recommend
