Walking stick from the first half of the 20th century with a solid wood shaft and a laminated silver spherical pommel, finely worked in repoussé and engraving with naturalistic motifs, height 90 cm, width 5 cm, depth 5 cm, weight 250 g, in good used condition.
Description from the seller
An enchanting antique walking cane, a perfect union of sober elegance and refined craftsmanship. The piece stands out for an impressive spherical knob in laminated silver, finely worked in relief and chased with naturalistic motifs depicting fruit garlands and detailed acanthus leaves on the lower base.
The shaft, with a slender and tapered line, is made of solid wood stained in dark brown/black tones, creating a perfect color contrast with the shine of the knob. On the central band of the sphere, numerical punch marks are clearly visible (including the number "20"), attesting to the authenticity and historicity of the craftsmanship. A vintage-flavored collectible, ideal for collectors or as a sophisticated furnishing accessory.
Conditions and Signs of Age
The walking stick is preserved in good vintage condition, solid and structurally intact.
The knob: features a splendid natural dark patina in the grooves of the chasing, which enhances the depth of the relief. Very slight and normal signs of surface wear consistent with its age are noticeable, which do not detract from its beauty.
The wooden shaft: shows small, natural variations in polish or light scratches on the surface of the trunk, minimal details that confer to the object its lived-in charm.
