AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

An Edwardian horn-handled walking cane with ornate gilt-metal mounts and presentation inscription, dated 1916 - England, early 20th century.

An elegant antique walking cane featuring a gracefully curved, polished horn handle, terminating in an elaborately chased gilt-metal cap decorated with scrolling foliage.

The handle is joined to a dark, polished wooden shaft by an ornate gilt-metal collar, with a further decorative mount enclosing a contrasting section of lighter-coloured wood. The finely worked mounts display intricate foliate ornament characteristic of the period.

The upper collar bears an engraved presentation inscription, dated 3 April 1916, adding a personal and historical dimension to the piece. The cane is finished by a metal ferrule.

Good antique condition, with minor surface wear and marks consistent with age and use. The decorative mounts remain well defined, and the horn handle displays attractive natural colour variations.
