Item Details

Description

This hickory tau style cane or walking stick is carved into a figure of a mermaid. She has one arm out to her right and bent at the elbow so her hand combs through her hair while her left arm follows the flow of her hair into the grip of the cane.

Condition

Weight (Lbs): 1
Height (In.): 36.75
Width (In.): 5.75"
Depth (In.): 1.25
Size: 420.5 x 4.0 x 4.0"
Maker: Unknown
Material: Hickory
Date: Early 20th C.
Provenance:
Condition: Some rubbing and expected scratching.
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.
