Antique walking stick in wood and silver, 89 cm long, dating from 1850–1900, in good condition with minor signs of wear, of European origin.
Description from the seller
Antique walking cane in wood and silver – 89 cm. Elegant antique cane, crafted in honey-brown wood, probably Malacca cane or a similar wood, featuring the characteristic natural knots along the shaft. The upper part extends into a curved ferrule in a squared/hook shape, with a sober and functional design.
The end of the ferrule is enhanced by a smooth silver appliqué, rounded rectangular in shape, fitted onto the wood. The lower end also presents a small metal cap, intended to protect the tip of the cane.
The simplicity of form, the quality of the wood, and the use of silver give it an elegant aesthetic typical of walking canes from the late 19th century and the first decades of the 20th century. This is a discreet model, without excessive decoration, in which the contrast between warm wood and silver constitutes the main ornamental element.
