Description
A very nice French silver tau cane. The silver tau handle is 2 1/4” high and 4 1/2” long. It has a shell chased at the end and it is elaborately decorated in scrolls, blossoms, and geometric patterns with a lovely result. The base is marked “800” for the silver content and there are tiny French hallmarks. The shaft is dark-stained hardwood with faux steps to mimic bamboo. The steps are set off with pyrography to help delineate them. The piece terminates with a 1 1/2” bimetal ferrule. The overall length is 36” and the condition is excellent. It is ca 1890, and it is a fine example of the type. Estimate: $650-$850
