During the 19th and 20th centuries, canes reached their pinnacle of popularity, becoming a must have accessory for those wishing to publicly proclaim their social and economic status. This piece is a prime example of that, the grip having been beautifully relief carved in the form of a lounging woman atop a floral motif. The grip is joined to the shaft with a gold band engraved with floral motifs. The smooth shaft is of Malacca and tipped with German silver and brass. It measures 35 inches overall.

Very good, the grip showing an attractive, lightly aged tone with some scattered hairline age cracking and a minor repair on the woman's leg. The gold band is mostly bright. The shaft is good with some scattered light handling marks throughout and a minor dent in the brass tip.
