Description: This striking umbrella stand is an authentic 1950s creation by renowned Italian metalworker Egidio Casagrande. Expertly crafted from hammered brass, the piece features a bold Brutalist aesthetic with a highly detailed "Faux Bois" texture. Its sculptural form mimics a weathered tree trunk, complete with a rugged branch-style handle and a uniquely jagged rim. This functional art piece perfectly embodies the expressive spirit of Mid-Century Modern Italian design. It serves as a sophisticated statement piece for an entryway, blending organic inspiration with industrial craftsmanship.
Fun Historical Fact Beyond his decorative home goods, Egidio Casagrande was a prominent figure in the "Hollywood on the Tiber" era. His workshop in Borgo Valsugana was commissioned to create authentic-looking metal props and armor for legendary film epics like Ben-Hur and The Ten Commandments. This means the same specialized hand-hammering techniques used to create this umbrella stand were also used to outfit cinematic armies. Owning a Casagrande piece brings a small piece of mid-century film history into your home.
