AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Antique Walking Cane with Patterned Shaft and Metal Cap – Early 20th Century
An elegant antique walking cane distinguished by a finely patterned shaft in warm amber tones, featuring a repeating circular motif that gives the piece a distinctive and refined decorative presence. The surface shows a gentle, natural sheen, with visual depth characteristic of early 20th-century decorative canes.
The handle is finished with a plain metal cap of clean, restrained form, showing surface wear, small marks, and age-related patina consistent with long use. The shaft remains visually striking, with scattered surface marks and minor imperfections that enhance its authentic period character. The cane is fitted with a dark ferrule at the base, showing expected wear.
Overall proportions are slender and elegant, reflecting a design intended as much for style as for function. The cane presents well as a tasteful decorative or collector’s piece and remains an attractive example of early 20th-century craftsmanship.
Condition: Antique condition; surface wear and small marks throughout; patina to the metal cap; wear consistent with age and use.
