Fine 19th-Century Arts & Crafts Bamboo & Tile Back Stick/Umbrella Hall Stand Brief Description: This is a fine and highly decorative late 19th-century Arts & Crafts bamboo hall stand, featuring a beautiful panel of original Victorian glazed ceramic tiles and retaining its original metal drip tray. Dating to circa 1880–1900, this charming antique stand has a wonderfully figured bamboo framework, displaying an attractive honey-brown colour with rich, dark mottling and a lovely aged patina throughout. The upper section incorporates a striking arrangement of decorative Victorian tiles in various shades of green, including pale mint, emerald and deep bottle green. Several tiles feature delicate classical-style ornamentation, with elegant oval medallions, scrolling details and contrasting golden-yellow centres. The open lower section provides convenient storage for walking sticks, canes and umbrellas, complete with its original removable metal drip tray, which displays an authentic, timeworn patina. A particularly attractive example of Victorian bamboo furniture, combining the decorative influence of the Arts & Crafts and Aesthetic Movements with everyday practicality.
