Description:

Starting in the 16th century, canes and walking sticks became extremely popular, first among royalty and nobility, and by the 19th and 20th centuries having worked their way down to the middle classes as a symbol of status. Being most popular among the upper echelons of society, popular motifs for canes often featured prized and valuable horses or hunting dogs, such as this example. The grip of this cane has been relief carved in the form of a detailed hound or hunting dog's head. The grip is joined to the shaft with a silver band stylized as a studded collar for the hound, and marked "SOLID/SILVER". The shaft is of a knobbed hardwood and tipped with German silver and iron. It measures 35 1/2 inches overall.

Rating Definition:

Fine, the grip shows an attractively aged tone with some scattered hairline age cracks and a couple minor chips. The silver band shows an attractively aged patina. The shaft is also fine with some scattered light handling marks and hairline age cracks.
