Walking stick - Bamboo, Gold plated - Edwardian, c.1900

Antique Bamboo Walking Cane with Gold-Plated Ferrule (9 ct G.P.) – Late 19th / Early 20th Century

Antique walking cane, late 19th to early 20th century, featuring a natural bamboo shaft with pronounced segmented nodes and a gently curved handle.

The handle is fitted with a metal ferrule stamped “9 ct G.P.”, indicating gold plating rather than solid gold. The stamp remains visible. The ferrule shows surface wear and light scratches consistent with age and use.

The bamboo shaft displays a warm honey tone with natural surface variation and expected signs of age and handling, including minor marks and wear. The ferrule at the lower end of the cane is no longer present, which is common for walking canes of this age and should be noted.

Overall, the cane remains structurally sound and well balanced. It is a genuine antique personal accessory, equally suitable for a collection of walking canes or as a decorative interior object.
