Walking stick (2) - Silverplated

Antique silver-plated gentleman's cane from Italy in the 1930s, 2 civilized canes. The style of elegant gentleman's travel has been passed down to the present day and can also be used as a filial gift. Since ancient times, the West has had the habit of "relying on canes to demonstrate". From the pharaohs of ancient Egypt to the gods of ancient Greece, they all held different canes to show their majesty. The kings of Europe in the Middle Ages held canes in their right hands to represent the majesty of the royal family and in their left hands to represent justice. The church also used scepters to show their majesty. Using a cane is a symbol of honor and status. With more and more people using it, standard etiquette norms soon emerged accordingly. Traveling without a full set of accessories or not following etiquette norms would be considered uneducated. In 1702, if a man in London needed to use a cane when going out, he had to obtain a license first, just like people driving now. At that time, gentlemen usually used different canes according to the needs of different occasions. Use a solid wood rough style for outdoor travel or dog walking. Use a low-key style for work. Use a light and luxurious design for social occasions such as dinner parties or watching dramas. Classic J shape, very comfortable to hold. A must-have for gentlemen, perfect for accent. Total length 87cm. Handle width 11.5cm. Round head length 89.5cm. Diameter 4.5cm.
