Item Details
Description
A SILVER ‘DRAGON’ WALKING CANE, QING DYNASTY

The shaft is made of black hardwood (possibly zitan), the handle of silver, incised with fine openwork detail

China, late 19th century, with faint silver- or manufacturer-marks on the mane

The handle with a fierce dragon baring his menacing fangs, with good detail work to his mane, scales and nostrils. Three-character engraving in Chinese and European monogram engraved to shaft of handle. The hardwood shaft looks a bit like Zitan with its characteristic crab-claw-markings, but cannot be determined due to a later applied European shellac coating.

Shape: Walking cane in L-shape
Weight: 305 grams
Dimensions: Length 87 cm
Condition: The cane with old wear, traces of use, minor dents and one small repair nostril, the hardwood shaft with shellac coating
Provenance: Austrian private collection
