Cane - Wood

Elegant walking cane (often called 'city cane' or 'dandy's cane') dating from the late 19th century or early 20th century (Belle Époque).
This distinguished accessory blends refinement and character, ideal for a collector or an enthusiast of folk-art objects.
The pommel represents a superb animal sculpture, namely a bulldog's head (or pug) with a beautiful expression. The meticulous artisanal work, probably in bone or deer antler finely patinated by time, gives it a very authentic ivory-like appearance.
The stave is made from genuine Malacca cane. This wood is sought after for its exceptional lightness, its flexibility and its robustness. Its honey patina is natural.
This cane is in good overall condition. The object bears a wear patina that attests to its age and authenticity. No major damage to report despite signs of use related to time.
