AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Rare and elegant vintage bamboo walking cane pair in natural bamboo
The auction features an exceptional collectible piece: a pair of vintage walking canes, handcrafted from high-quality natural bamboo. This set stands out for its rarity, refined details, and a superb aesthetic harmony that has evolved with time.
• Overall condition:
Both canes are in good overall condition. They show light signs of use that are completely normal and slight wear related to their age, which gives them a beautiful original patina and authentic historical character.
• Dimensions:
First cane (with handle): Total length 84.5 cm, Derby handle width 10.5 cm, shaft diameter about 2.2 to 2.3 cm.
Second cane (with cord hole): Total length 88 cm, middle diameter about 2 cm.
• Details of the first cane (With Derby handle and gilded ring stamped):
Derby handle: Equipped with an ergonomic Derby-style wooden handle with superb hand-crafted shaded finishes.
Gold-toned ring / ferrule with stamps: Just under the handle lies an elegant gold-colored ring (it may be gold-plated metal or gilded silver). This ring is the only piece of the set bearing precious era stamps etched in relief (in intaglio), representing the initials or old symbols of the manufacturer.
Lower rubber tip: The cane ends with a black rubber protective tip. Note the small crack or natural split about 1.5 cm on this rubber. This weathered wear is a true guarantee of authenticity, proving the cane’s age and its authentically vintage and antique character (see detailed photos).
• Details of the second cane (With brass ferrule and cord hole):
Note: This cane carries no punch marks or inscriptions.
Cord hole: It features an original hole intended to receive a wrist strap or cord (one of the protective eyelets is missing on one side, which is natural wear related to age).
Brass ferrule and tip: The base is reinforced by a remarkable traditional system consisting of a cylindrical brass ferrule (golden metal) topped with a hard metal tip. The whole thing shows a lovely natural oxide patina and is fixed to the bamboo by an original rivet.
Color: It has a beautiful amber honey color with a deep historic patina.
