Walking stick - Bamboo, sterling silver - Jonathan Howell

Elegant Antique Walking Cane in Bamboo and Sterling Silver – Birmingham 1919
​Splendid vintage piece that blends the exoticism of natural bamboo with the refined English silverwork craft
​This refined walking cane is an authentic collectible dating back to the early twentieth century. The shaft is made of carefully selected bamboo wood, a material highly sought after in the Edwardian era for its unique combination of lightness, flexibility, and natural beauty. The wood knots are well defined and the shaft terminates in a classic ergonomic curved grip.
​Finishes in Sterling Silver and Hallmarks
​The cane is embellished with solid silver decorations, finely hand-engraved with ornamental volute motifs. On the "vera" (the central collar) are the original British hallmarks that certify authenticity:
​The Lion Passant: Symbol of Sterling Silver (purity .925).
​The Anchor: Assay Office mark of Birmingham, England.
​The Letter "u": Identifies the exact year of production, 1919.

​Details and Condition
