Summary
A gold coloured metal stand for umbrellas and walking sticks, for a doll's house. The stand is bent and leans to one side. It has a circular base embossed with six petalled flowers, the central column protrudes from the middle and ends with an eye at the top. Someway below is a cross shaped piece of metal with four circular holes. This arrangement forms an abstract flower. Placed through two of these holes are two umbrellas. These are two pieces of grey metal with hooks at the top wrapped around to form the umbrella in fabric, one is red, the other green. Total number of items is 3.
