During the 19th and 20th centuries, canes became incredibly popular as a status symbol, especially among upper class gentlemen in Western Europe and North America. The antique ivory grip of this cane has been expertly relief carved as the bust of a dog, likely either a variation of bull-terrier or mastiff, and is fitted with glass eyes. The thick shaft is made of a light springy wood and tipped with copper. It measures 36 inches overall.

Fine, the grip showing an attractive slightly aged appearance with some hairline age cracks and minor chipping on the ears. The shaft has some scattered minor handling marks and the copper tip is attractively aged.
