Item Details
Description
This cane or walking stick ends at the top with an intricately carved head. Three deer are carved into the cane, just below the start of the carving's neck. The style of carving is similar to that found on daggers and kris of the period.
Condition
Weight (Lbs): 0.5
Height (In.): 35.75
Width (In.): 2.5
Depth (In.): 1.25
Size: 384.5 x 4.0 x 4.0"
Maker: Unknown
Material: Mahogany
Date: 19th C.
Provenance:
Condition: The head is missing its lower right fang. Light rubbing resulting in loss to the head, at the collar beneath the head. No ferrule.
History: Canes were a popular accessory to the fashion minded far more than as an actual ambulatory aid during the 18th and 19th Centuries, dying out as a stable by the early 20th Century. Interestingly, the size of the ferrule, the metal cap on the base of a cane, is a fairly accurate measure of dating the cane, as by the 18th century, it began to shorten with the advent of maintained road systems and paved paths.
