An authentic and charming rustic walking stick, handcrafted from a single piece of hardwood. The natural curves and knots of the branch have been artistically shaped into a zoomorphic handle, giving it a strong character and individuality. Likely made in Europe, early to mid 20th century, by a rural craftsman using traditional techniques. The surface shows a warm aged patina with visible tool marks, adding to its authenticity and appeal. Materials: hardwood (possibly hazel or fruitwood) Technique: hand-carved from one piece Condition: very good, with natural age-related wear, minor surface cracks, and rich patina. Solid and stable. A decorative and collectible piece of folk craftsmanship — ideal for rustic interiors, walking stick collections, or as an example of early 20th-century rural art. Will be carefully packed and shipped with tracking.
