Walking stick - .925 silver - London 1924

An elegant early 20th-century walking stick, London 1924, featuring a naturally formed crook handle made from well-figured hardwood. The handle has a smooth, gently curved profile with attractive colour variation and patina, typical of quality walking sticks from the interwar period. The crook is fitted with a domed solid silver terminal cap, finely engraved with a monogram, adding a personal and decorative touch.

The silver terminal is fully hallmarked for London, 1924. It shows light surface wear consistent with age, along with a small split to the silver cap, a common age-related feature in hollow silver mounts. This split is stable and does not affect the security of the handle or the overall integrity of the walking stick.

The shaft is constructed from matching hardwood, assembled in traditional sections, and tapers neatly toward the base. The stick remains straight and sound. No ferrule is present, either original or later, and the end of the shaft shows expected wear from historical use. Overall condition is good for its age, with surface wear and marks consistent with careful long-term use and no evidence of repairs or structural weakness.

This is a refined and authentic example of a gentleman’s walking stick from the early 20th century, combining understated silver mounting with practical elegance. It would appeal to collectors of antique canes, English silver-mounted walking sticks, or period accessories, and is best suited for display or light handling.
