This sturdy cylindrical red leather umbrella stand was handcrafted by Hermès in France during the mid-20th century. Dyed leather was sewn together with leather threading to form the body, complete with a leather carrying strap at the top for easy transport. The stand's smooth open end allowed umbrellas to slide in effortlessly while the leather construction protected them from falls. Near the opening, Hermès' name was carved in golden lettering, representing the brand's reputation for fine parisian craftsmanship.

Having been founded in 1837, Hermès was an established luxury brand by the mid-1900s. The quality finishes and sophisticated style of accessories like this umbrella stand helped cement Hermès' enduring status as a pinnacle of French design and reinforced its legacy across art and fashion circles. less
