19TH Century Cast Iron Stick stand Umbrella stand - Hercules and the Serpent

This antique umbrella stand is a well-sculpted model depicting the legend of young Hercules and the serpent by ‘Edwin & Theophilus Smith’. The antique umbrella stand has a removable drip tray at the bottom. A rather unique 19th-century antique.  The story goes about the baby Hercules wrestling with the snake that the jealous Hera sent to destroy the child.

This is a highly decorative item for an entrance hall, umbrella, or walking stick stand.  Great decorator piece.
   
Condition: Good antique condition with wear commensurate with age and use.  Left in its original condition, some rust appears which is typical with aging.  One can paint the umbrella stand to suit any interior design.

Footnote : 
Antique or vintage items have been used and as most antique dealers would say "PRE-LOVED", they will show signs of wear that are commensurate with age.  Now this will appeal to some as it authenticates its age.  
I will always try to list all faults found with each object to the best of my ability and photos form part of the illustrative narrative.
All vintage used items are sold "as is". If in doubt please ask questions before you make your purchase, I am always happy to answer and send additional photos if required.
Each Item will be very carefully protected and carefully packaged and shipped within 2-3 business days from Ireland after payment has been cleared.  We use and recycle packaging materials for sustainability purposes.  
We are happy to combine shipping on multiple purchases
