Description
A very nice Russian silver string inlay cane with stars. Made of Russian hardwood, perhaps Karelian birch, it has a flat mushroom knob handle that is 1/2" high and 1 1/2" in diameter. The top of the knob has silver string owner initials: "W.T." in a round scroll frame, as well as additional scrolling around the perimeter. The shaft is elaborately silver string inlaid for seven and one-half inches. The decoration includes four rows of silver stars with six of them in each row. Down the shaft a bit is a 1/2" burnished band as a highlight. The piece terminates with a 1 1/8" aged bi-metal ferrule. The overall length is 35 1/3" and the condition is very good with the silver inlay apparently all intact. It is ca 1885, and it is a great example of skillful Russian artistry. Estimate: $1000-$1500.
