Piero Fornasetti ‘Alsatian’ Dog Umbrella Stand, c.1950

A wonderful trompe l’oeil umbrella stand by the incredibly creative and talented designer, Piero Fornasetti. One of twelve dogs that Piero featured on his umbrella stands, this example portrays an Alsatian dog, most probably a police dog due to the pair of handcuffs that feature in the lower left hand corner. A superb, quirky Fornasetti piece that will look great in any interior.
