Walking stick - .925 silver - Wartime London 1941

A distinguished English gentleman’s walking cane, crowned with a substantial domed pommel crafted in solid sterling silver and hallmarked in London in 1941. The silver top carries a beautifully mellow patina, its smooth rounded form reflecting the understated refinement characteristic of wartime British craftsmanship.
The long, tapered hardwood shaft is finished in deep black lacquer that has worn gracefully with age, creating an authentic vintage character while remaining structurally sound. At the tip, the original brass ferrule is still present, completing the classic silhouette.

This elegant accessory was made during the early 1940s, a period in which fine craftsmanship continued despite material limitations, resulting in objects of simple yet timeless beauty. The cane presents with gentle surface wear and small dents to the silver, together with age-related wear to the lacquer, all entirely consistent with its history and adding depth to its appearance.

An evocative and well-balanced gentleman’s cane from wartime London, refined in its simplicity and highly collectible as an early 20th-century silver-mounted piece. It displays exceptionally well and would make a superb addition to any collection of historic walking canes or British silver.
