Beginning in approximately the 16th century, canes gradually became more popular among the upper echelons of society, reaching its pinnacle around the late-19th to early-20th centuries. Initially, the popularity of canes was mainly reserved for men, however, by the 20th century canes became a popular accessory for women as well. This piece is likely an example of a lady's cane with its floral patterns and more slender shaft. The antique ivory grip of this example has been expertly relief carved into a slender bouquet of roses. There is a German silver band where the grip meets the shaft, which appears to be of birch and is tipped with an iron and brass ferrule.

Very fine, the grip showing some patches of lightly aged coloration and the shaft showing some scattered light flakes with otherwise minimal handling evidence.
