Item Details
Description
This partridge wood cane or walking stick is topped by a silver compartment head with an enameled, screw-on lid. The lid has a single blue-glass bead in the center of the pink and blue pin-wheel pattern. The ferrule is made of brass.
Condition
Weight (Lbs): 0.5
Height (In.): 35.50"
Width (In.): 1.25"
Depth (In.): 1.25"
Size: 485.5 x 4.0 x 4.0"
Maker: Unknown
Material: Partridge Wood, Enamel, Silver
Date: 19th C.
Provenance:
Condition: The silver compartment is off-center and loose in the collar. The wood shows some extremely minor marring.
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.
