Condition
Weight (Lbs): 0.5
Height (In.): 35.25"
Width (In.): .75"
Depth (In.): .75"
Size: 439.5 x 4.0 x 4.0"
Maker: Unknown
Material: Malacca, silver, horn
Date: C. 1900
Provenance:
Condition: A band of sterling silver acts as a repair for what is presumably a break about four inches beneath the collar. Losses to the varnish. Soft patination of the wood.
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.
