Lot 285: An Assortment of Walking Sticks and Umbrellas in a Victorian Style Brass Demi-Lune Stand
This lot comprises a Victorian style brass demi-lune umbrella stand and an assortment of walking sticks and umbrellas. The stand is constructed from tubular brass in a traditional semi-circular design, featuring turned decorative finials, a curved top rail, and a white drip tray at the base. An assortment of items is contained within, including a walking stick with a Derby-style handle and matching shaft decorated with a red ground and blue floral motifs, joined by a chrome-toned collar. A second walking stick features a black finished shaft topped with a brass-toned metal cap handle and a brown braided cord wrist strap. A third stick is finished with a cream-coloured shaft. Also included are two umbrellas, one with a yellow and brown checked canopy and another with a black and white houndstooth pattern canopy. A small white label with the number 2 is affixed to the lower rail of the stand, and a yellow tag is attached to the handle of the floral walking stick. No manufacturer marks or hallmarks are visible on the components.

The brass stand displays a natural aged patina with visible areas of surface tarnish and oxidation consistent with age and domestic use.
