Vintage Hammered Brass Umbrella Stand | Lion Paw Coal Scuttle Fireplace Hod

A beautifully sculptural vintage hammered brass coal scuttle reimagined as a statement umbrella stand for the entryway, mudroom, or foyer. Featuring a tall cylindrical silhouette with a dramatic sloped opening, lion paw feet, and ornate brass detailing, this piece carries the warmth and character only vintage brass can offer.

Originally designed as a fireplace hod or coal bucket, it now makes an exceptional decorative vessel for umbrellas, walking canes, dried branches, or hearth tools. The hammered finish catches light beautifully and gives the piece an old-world, collected feel suited to traditional interiors, English-inspired homes, and layered antique spaces.

Stamped “Made in India” on the underside, this appears to be a mid-century decorative brass reproduction with substantial visual presence and a wonderfully aged patina.
