Walking stick - .925 silver - Hammered handle 1900-1910

Elegant antique walking stick featuring a beautifully hand-hammered silver knob handle with a richly textured, dimpled surface. The irregular pattern catches the light in a subtle way, highlighting the handcrafted nature of the piece and giving it a distinctive, tactile quality typical of traditional silversmith work. The hammered silver finish is characteristic of the period around 1900–1910, while the form of the knob reflects a classic transitional style between the late Victorian and Edwardian eras. The handle has a pleasing, slightly domed shape that sits comfortably in the hand, combining functionality with refined design. Just below, the silver mount tapers neatly into the shaft, creating a harmonious transition between materials. The shaft is made of polished hardwood with a warm, deep tone and visible natural grain, showing gentle signs of age that enhance its character. The stick is fitted with a horn ferrule, a practical and desirable feature consistent with walking sticks of the period, adding both durability and historical authenticity. Faint and partially worn hallmarks are present on the silver mount. Although not fully legible, they indicate sterling silver, with the lion passant mark still visible, suggesting British origin and supporting an attribution to the Edwardian period. This is a well-proportioned and balanced walking stick, attractive both as a functional object and as a decorative collectible. A refined and understated example of early 20th-century craftsmanship, likely dating to the Edwardian period and particularly appealing to collectors of silver-mounted canes. Good antique condition with age-related wear. The silver handle shows light surface marks and patina. The wooden shaft has minor scuffs consistent with use. The horn ferrule is intact and shows expected wear from contact with the ground. No major structural issues.
