Description from the seller

Early 20th Century Gentleman’s Cane with Geometric Inlay, c.1910–1930

Elegant gentleman’s walking stick dating to the early 20th century (circa 1910–1930), showing stylistic influence of the Arts & Crafts movement with early Art Deco elements.

The cane is made from solid bent wood, likely steamed and hand-shaped, with a smooth crook handle. The handle is decorated with geometric white metal inlays forming abstract shapes, typical of transitional design between late Edwardian craftsmanship and emerging modernist aesthetics.

The shaft shows a rich natural patina developed over time, and the cane is fitted with a protective metal ferrule at the tip. The overall form is slender, elegant and well balanced, making it suitable both as a decorative interior piece and as a traditional walking stick.

A distinctive example of early 20th-century gentleman’s accessories, appealing to collectors of period design, Arts & Crafts objects and decorative antiques.

In good antique condition with visible age-related wear. Surface scratches, small marks and areas of darker patina to the wood consistent with use. Minor wear to the metal inlays and ferrule. Structurally sound and straight. Please refer to photographs as part of the description.
