Walking stick (6) - Wood

Mid-Century (c. 1950 - 1980). These are handcrafted, traditional pieces from the mid-20th century. The patina accumulated on the varnish, natural wear at the points where the handles are touched, and the classic transitional design (such as the Derby-style cane with a brass ring) place this lot in the golden era of walking cane manufacturing.

Types of Wood Incorporated in the Lot:
By analyzing the grain, nodes, and tones through the images, the lot shows excellent botanical diversity:
1. Chestnut Wood (Castanea sativa): A very traditional wood, light and highly resistant to bending. Present in the cane with a mid-brown finish and a perfectly curved grip by heat (sapwood).
2. Rustic Cane / Bamboo Wood (Calamus / Bambusoideae): Identifiable in the cane with the characteristic successive knots along the shaft and flame-grained handle (artificially burned to create dark aesthetic marks).
3. Cherry or Patinated Beech Wood: Used in the cane with geometrically carved decorations at the base of the grip. Features concentric rings engraved and fine veins ideal for artistic woodworking.
4. Exotic Wood / Rosewood (or similar dark dense tone): The cane with an ergonomic in a "T" grip (Derby type) features a wood of higher density, dark red/chocolate hue, and high durability.
5. Knobby Rustic Wood (like Hazel or Ash): Identifiable in the cane with a lighter tone and natural rough texture along the shaft, preserving the “eyes” and original irregularities of the tree branch after peeling.

Excellent and varied set of 6 antique collection canes, made from different noble woods and crafted by hand. The lot includes canes with classic curved handles (hook) and one elegant cane with a "T"-shaped grip (Derby style). They are notable for their unique details, including carved geometric decorations and natural textures that highlight the wood grain.
