AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A fine walking stick characterized by an artistic 925 silver handle, as confirmed by the visible stamps in the detail of the ferrule. The knob is finely worked in repousage and chasing with a dynamic venatory motif in high relief.
The decoration depicts a hunting scene in the forest, with deer and wild animals rendered with notable realism among dense branches and foliage. On the depicted knob is a noble coat of arms. The quality of the casting allows appreciating the minutest anatomical details of the animals and the depth of the vegetation. The shaft is made of precious dark brown wood, with a glossy finish that highlights its natural grain.
Present stamp with star "871 FI". The number 871 from the Province of Florence belongs to the company "Argenteria G. Galbiati s.r.l.", with historic premises in Bagno a Ripoli (Florence). It is a renowned manufacturer of artistic silverware and high-quality decorative accessories.
The item is offered in good vintage condition, with a natural patina of time on the silver that underscores its artisanal craftsmanship and authenticity. A refined collectible piece, ideal for hunting-themed objets d’art enthusiasts or vintage masculine accessories.
