Item Details

Description

A great whalebone snake nautical cane. Made from a single piece of whalebone, the handle is 5” high and 2 1/2” at its widest. It depicts a curved snake with carved eyes that show traces of red decoration that was probably sealing wax that wore away. There are four separators made of wide pieces of black ebony and three more of whale ivory, above a long, smooth tapering whalebone shaft that terminates with a 3” black ebony ferrule. The overall length is 35 3/4” and the condition is very good. It is perhaps American, ca 1875 and it is a very nice example of the type. Estimate: $3500-$4500
