Description from the seller

A George V Silver-Mounted Crook-Handled Walking Stick, London, 1920, by J. Howell & Co. Ltd

An elegant George V walking stick, the curved hardwood handle displaying attractive natural figuring in rich reddish-brown and dark tones, terminating in a sterling silver mount decorated with a series of raised oval bosses and a shaped, scalloped upper edge.

The silver mount is fully hallmarked for London, 1920, with the maker's mark of J. Howell & Co. Ltd.

The crook-shaped handle continues into a slender, tapering wooden shaft, retaining its warm colour and distinctive grain. The stick is finished with a pale horn ferrule.

A refined example of an early 20th-century English gentleman's walking stick, combining an understated form with distinctive silver detailing.

Condition: Good antique condition, with surface wear, scratches and age-related marks consistent with use. The wooden handle and shaft display visible grain lines and areas of surface cracking, as illustrated. The silver mount shows light surface wear. The horn ferrule remains present.

Seller's Story

An eclectic collection of antiques and decorative objects, reflecting the character, charm and understated elegance of the English country house.
