19th Century Nap III Cast Iron Coat and Hat Stand by Frères Corneau

About the Item

An impressive 19th century, Napoleon III, cast iron coat, hat and umbrella stand from the Frères Corneau, brothers Alfred and Èmile, who were master ironsmiths who started one of the leading Iron foundries in Europe from Ardenne, France in 1846. The piece is one of Corneau's most elaborate designs, in its category, and is numbered 26 alongside the cast stamped signature of the foundry. The piece, which is of museum standard, has a deep ivy green patina and is made from Fine and expertly cast sections (can dismantle for transport) which also includes: an adjustable, central oval mirror with moulded gold frame, placed at head height, and two beautifully cast 'shell' shaped basins, at the base, in their original enameled white finish which were designed to receive droplets of water from the points of umbrellas! Enchanting detailing. All components and finishes are original to the piece and in very good condition.
