CANE WITH PIQU… HANDLE
18th Century
Ivory knob handle and throat with silvered metal piquÈ scroll, tassel and floriform designs and "R.H. 9.2" at top. Throat pierced for a wrist cord (no cord present). Malacca shaft with metal collar and tip.
Length 36".
Notes:
This type of pique cane is believed to have been produced by Huguenot refugees working in London during a small window of time at the end of the 17th and beginning of the 18th Century. The similar style, design and lettering of these canes that have come publicly to market suggests they were made in a single workshop. **Not available for international shipping.***

Ivory components with age lines, shaft with scattered nicks and some sticker residue, but generally well-preserved.
