AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Magnificent walking stick in solid silver, 850 fineness, weight 538 grams. Period: second half of the 19th century, entirely handmade by a supremely skilled artisan; see the photos: you can notice a horse-head shaped grip and the entire walking stick with floral and other motifs, all handmade by an expert hand, as were the artisans of old. We are looking at an object of priceless value, not only for the amount of silver (half a kilogram of pure silver, with the hallmarks as in the photo), but above all for its artisanal craftsmanship and original handiwork by an exceptionally skilled hand from the second half of the 19th century. According to some research conducted, it would be attributable to the period 1850-1870. But beyond the exact year of its artisanal production, it remains an unobtainable and precious object today. An excellent purchase both as an investment and as a precious asset, a combination that makes this object a unique piece in the world. The object has been appraised by a sector expert as per the certificate attached in the photos. The conditions are almost perfect; the object has belonged to my family for a long time and has always been kept inside various homes. The walking stick is unscrewable at the center. The photos are an integral part of the description, and shipping will be slightly more expensive as it will be sent with a highly efficient carrier, with delivery guaranteed in one business day (two for more distant countries).
