General Auction, Antiques, Gold & Silver (14% Buyers Commission)
A walking stick or cane, featuring a distinctively carved wood handle and a natural, polished wood shaft. The handle is intricately carved in a naturalistic style, depicting a reclining feline (possibly a large cat) resting above a bird, with further foliate and twisted rope ornamentation below. A plain metal band connects the carved handle to the dark brown, irregular shaft, which displays prominent knots and a rustic character. No discernible text, maker’s marks, or other identifiable inscriptions are present on the walking stick itself.
Length: 97 cm (approx. 38.2 inches)
