AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Elegant vintage walking cane with a grip carved in the shape of an eagle's head.

The handle is probably made of galalite / bakelite, finely crafted and hand-engraved, with a refined rendering of the plumage and a glass eye applied, which gives strong realism and character to the piece.

The shaft is in polished wood with a beautiful mahogany tone and a decorative braided collar in gilded metal.

A piece of great aesthetic impact and strong presence, traceable to European production in the mid-20th century.

Ideal for:
• walking-cane collecting
• Wunderkammer and curiosities
• vintage interior design
• theatrical or cinematic set design
• animalier / Art Deco collection

Good condition relative to age, with normal signs of wear and time.

Era: circa 1930–1950.
Materials: galalite / bakelite, glass, gilded metal and wood.

Careful shipping with professional packaging.
