The grip of this cane has been expertly cast in the form of a highly detailed bulldog's head. The entire grip and band below it are silver plated, with Italian .925 purity and post-1968 hallmarks for maker number 871 from the province of Ferrara. The smooth shaft appears to be of fruit wood stained burgundy with a high gloss varnish and tipped with hard rubber. 36" OAL. Provenance: The TTT Collection

Exceptionally fine, the silver showing an attractive lightly aged patina and crisp detail in the casting. The shaft is excellent with only the slightest handling evidence.
