Walking stick - .925 silver - Birmingham 1919

An elegant early 20th-century gentleman’s walking cane, the tapering hardwood shaft of warm richly figured tone, fitted with a shaped crook handle and mounted with silver collar and terminal cap. The silver collar is finely repoussé-decorated with scrolling foliate ornament and engraved monogram, bearing clear Birmingham hallmarks for 1919.

The restrained proportions and refined detailing reflect the understated sophistication of the Edwardian period transitioning into the early post-war years, while the warm patinated timber lends the piece an attractive sense of age and character. Of classic form, the cane remains both a practical object and a highly collectible example of traditional British gentleman’s accessories.

Condition is consistent with age and use, with light surface wear, scattered scratches and handling marks to the timber, minor wear and soft bruising to the silver mounts, and expected age-related wear throughout. The shaft remains visually well-presented, with an attractive overall patina.

A refined and decorative example of an early 20th-century British silver-mounted walking cane.
