6. Ebony Reluctant Beheaded Black Man Cane-Ca.

Item Details

Description

6. Ebony Reluctant Beheaded Black Man Cane-Ca. 1890-Well carved ebony Black Man’s head with an elongated face showing the characteristic wide and flat nose and large lips flanked by a pair of inset ivory eyes and short and curly hair. A small knife with an ebony handle and slender steel blade concealed in the shaft slides through the neck above the golden metal ring collar without tilting the Black Man’s head. This cane is a pinnacle achievement of mechanical cane making, and, where most of these canes are no longer in working order, this wonderful example still has perfectly geared mechanics and performs its intriguing and amusing show to perfection. The head comes on an ebony shaft fitted with two slender yellow metal collar-rings and a black horn ferrule. -For extensive thoughts on the motif of the Black Man and additional explanations to the “Décapité Récalcitrant”, see The “Mandel Cane Collection” by Youssef Kadri, pages 46-57.-H. 3 ½” x 1 ½”, O.L. 36”-$2,500-$3,500
