Description from the seller
An elegant Swedish presentation walking cane featuring a hallmarked silver-mounted crook handle by the renowned silversmith C.G. Hallberg. The silver bears Swedish hallmarks dating the piece to 1941, together with the maker's mark C.G.H. The handle is engraved with the presentation inscription "J. E. Themnér", dated 1 November 1946, adding historical interest and documented provenance.
Founded in Stockholm in 1860, C.G. Hallberg became one of Sweden's leading jewellers and silversmiths, renowned for producing high-quality silverware and luxury accessories. Pieces bearing the firm's maker's mark are appreciated for their fine craftsmanship, understated elegance and enduring Scandinavian design.
The cane combines a hallmarked silver handle with a finely finished hardwood shaft and a matching silver ferrule. Its clean, minimalist form reflects the refined aesthetic of Scandinavian craftsmanship during the early 1940s. The substantial construction and quality materials further emphasise its excellent workmanship and durability.
The presentation inscription enhances the cane's historical appeal and provides a tangible link to its original owner, making it an attractive collector's piece and an excellent addition to a collection of Scandinavian silver, walking canes or decorative arts.
Very good overall condition with light age-related wear, including minor surface scratches and small marks to the silver and wooden shaft consistent with age and careful use. The engraved presentation inscription and hallmarks remain clear and legible. Please refer to the photographs, which form part of the description.
