Walking stick - Wood, Silverplated

Walking cane with a finely carved handle in the shape of a silvered grayhound head, catching the eye with its realistic details. The shaft is glossy black lacquered wood, completed by a silver band that joins the handle to the shaft.
Condition: 7/10 (Light signs of wear and small scratches on the black shaft, as visible in the photos).
In the auction a refined walking cane that combines classical elegance with contemporary artisanal quality. The distinctive element is the head-shaped grip (hound or greyhound type), characterized by a noble expression and anatomical details rendered with extreme precision.
Technical Details and Materials:
• Handle: In precious metal with thick silver plating. The surface is perfectly shiny, mirror-like and free of stains or oxidation marks.
• Magnetic Test: The metal is non-magnetic (the magnet does not stick), confirming a high-quality alloy base (non-ferrous) ideal for electroplating.
• Shaft: Made of solid wood, lacquered in an elegant glossy black that highlights the contrast with the silver.
• Factory Mark: On the shaft there is the original gold-colored insignia with logo "RG", brand "m" and the year "1867", guaranteeing production inspired by historic artisanal tradition.
• Hallmarks: Although of excellent craftsmanship, there are no hallmarks of solid silver; the item should be considered a high-quality handcrafted silvered reproduction.
Conservation State:
The item is in excellent condition, almost like new. The shaft lacquer is intact and the metal part shines without need for cleaning.
Why buy it:
This cane is not just a walking aid, but a true style accessory and a collectible piece. Perfect for those who love canine-inspired design or for those who want a classy object to display.
