Truly, this is one of the most unusual hallstands that we have ever come across. The wood is solid "tiger" oak and has a carved lion's head at the top and four smaller lion's heads at the tops of each column with the center two columns ending in a cabriole leg and lion's paw foot. It also has incised carving that frames the entire back, finely carved interconnecting scrolls on the back panels and gadrooning on the edge of the top shelf. The brass hooks are original as well as the umbrella pans (painted) at the bottom. What is most unusual is the Art Nouveau influence in the carvings, especially along the apron of the shelf. Art Nouveau (1890's-1910's) was not a popular style in the U.K., and accordingly, didn't influence furniture making at the time, c. 1890's. This piece has been restored and French polished.
