Set of 2 walking canes made of beech wood, one of which is ebonised. The pieces show a silvered metal handle with a flattened or disc-shaped knob of period (early 20th century), produced in the United Kingdom. A metal collar connects the handle to the shaft via a silvered cylindrical ring. The knob is decorated in relief. It presents the typical patina and dark/brown tarnish characteristic of silver that has not been polished over time, and the lower ebonised part is slightly curved.
