Antique Bamboo Walking Cane with Natural Root Handle – Late Victorian / Early Edwardian – ca. 1890–1905 Elegant antique gentleman’s walking cane made from natural bamboo, featuring a curved root handle in its original organic form. The handle shows beautiful natural burl texture, smoothly polished by age and use. The bamboo shaft retains fine natural nodes and a warm honey patina. This type of cane was highly fashionable among gentlemen in the late Victorian and early Edwardian periods (ca. 1890–1905). Bamboo and root-handled canes were considered stylish accessories – both practical and a mark of refined taste. They were often carried as part of a gentleman’s daily attire rather than as medical aids. A fine and authentic example of turn-of-the-century craftsmanship, elegant in its simplicity and natural character. Good antique condition – light surface wear and age marks; missing original ferrule, otherwise solid and well-preserved.
