Maritime Object - Gilt bronze- Parachute holder sailor

This rare and vintage umbrella stand, made of gilded bronze, was created in the late 19th century – early 20th century.

The paratrooper is represented by a sailor, Jack Tar.
Under him are some sailor's materials such as an anchor with chain, a shovel, a powder keg, and various ropes.
At the bottom, there is a tray to catch water from wet umbrellas.
This makes the umbrella holder enormously practical.
He has enough space for multiple umbrellas.

Jack Tar was an English expression used for sailors.
Jack was a term frequently used for men who went to sea.
'Tar' has been used since the 17th century and denotes the fabric coated with tar, which was used to waterproof a garment.
