Ornate Germanic Style Relief Carved Antique Ivory Coat of Arms Cane with Inscribed Silver Band

This ornate cane shows decidedly Germanic styling, which is reinforced by the names inscribed on the silver band. The vertical handle is beautifully carved with a coat of arms, the shield quartered with a cog wheel, tree, eagle, and horn/harp, and flanked by flags divided into thirds horizontally, possibly Austrian. There is a relief carved band of foliage at the bottom of the handle just above the silver band which joins it to the shaft. The band is inscribed "C.Savelsberg (Kobold)/s/l O. Bilharz (Kugh)/zfr Er. Weihnachtskneipe 83", the last line indicating that this cane may have been a Christmas gift, likely in 1883. The shaft is ebonized hardwood and it is fitted with an exceptionally long tip (8 7/8 inches) made up of four pieces of joined horn. The overall length is 34 inches.

ConditionVery good, the handle showing an attractive slightly aged appearance with a few hairline age cracks, some scattered minor dings and a hairline crack in the shaft, and a few hairline cracks and some visible glue on the tip.
