Condition

Weight (Lbs): 0.25
Height (In.): 36.25
Width (In.): 2.5
Depth (In.): 0.5
Size: 431.5 x 4.0 x 4.0"
Maker: Unknown
Material: Ebony, Rubber, Agate
Date: 19TH C.
Provenance:
Condition: Tiny chip to the grip, small amounts of rubbing.
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.
