A golden crown by the door, with a crook handle shaped like the umbrellas it holds.
Theo Victor is a tall umbrella stand in a warm, aged gold. The body is smooth and gently tapered, the top cut into a crown of pointed peaks each tipped with a small ball, and a centre post rises to a curled crook handle, the same shape as a walking umbrella. It stands on a stepped, flared foot.
At about 72 cm tall, it is made for the entrance, holding umbrellas and walking sticks where you need them, and it looks just as good filled with tall dried stems when you want it purely for show.
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 presence.
◆Curled crook handle, shaped like an umbrella's own, a charming nod to what it holds.
◆Warm gold finish, aged and softly shaded rather than bright, easy to live with.
◆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
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 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 crook handle and centre post fit into the base, which also keeps the carton a sensible size for shipping. No tools are needed.
How tall is it?
About 72 cm tall and 23 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 gold.
Because Theo Victor is finished by hand, the tone and patina 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.

The concepts were well presented and were familiar to especially about gathering my favourite pieces slowly over time and with care.
I love being able to experiment with colours and layering lighting. It’s fun and I always tell myself I can live with some choices for some time and can always make adjustments.
I was scared to open my parcel due to past experience with buying on line with less than perfect purchases.
This parcel, from the packaging to the presentation has been more than expected.
Thank you very much.

My recent purchases look amazing in my garden… my delivery arrived promptly and the communication from Chateau was explanatory as to where and what was happening. I liked the follow up emails … thanks
I am so glad I bought these beautiful Dragonflies! I only have a small front verandah, but I wanted to place them out here. Dragonflies, are my spirit animals.
I bought special hooks to place on the window so I could hang them. I placed them behind my buddha, and I feel they look very decorative and effective.
I lurve the Rocco French Provincial Lidded Canister. It's just gorgeous! My pics are not its final destination or styling. I added these very large hydrangeas so you can see how big it is and how much it can hold. The product is high quality and stands on its own regardless of how you choose to style it. I adore the antique gold finish and will be buying other products. Communication about my purchase and delivery was great, and all products were packed well. Thankfully, I'm in a 2-bedroom apartment; otherwise, I'd need a VIP card.
I love my new products and will be purchasing more. They are particularly nice next to my ginger jars, but I'm testing out places for them before I decide whether I will style them with or without a floral arrangement and where they'll be placed. This is a great quality product and the size I wanted (fairly large). The delivery was prompt; communication was great about what was happening and when, and the products arrived safely and without damage, as they were packaged appropriately. I was so happy, I wrote to the team straight away to say thanks.
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.
