19. Ivory Piqué Cane-Queen Ann Period, (16)98-Ivory knob turned in a stretching pommel shape and ornate on the top with a piqué round crown framing the “G.M.” initials above the date (16)“98”. The piqué crown repeats on the collar of the knob and frames, in a smaller size, the two silver eyelets. The knob and its heavily worn silver collar come on their initial malacca shaft. This good example of a desirable and rare type of canes has obviously been used over very, very long years. The knob is praised by age and a candied patina and the shaft distinguishes by an ennobling weathered surface coupled to a rich brown color. Directly linked to the traditional English heritage, this cane represents the state of early European cane art and is today a first rate collectable. -H. 3 ¾” x 1 ¾”, O.L. 32 ½”
