Walking stick - Wood

Men's walking cane. Finely worked and sculpted, silver-plated, featuring a highly detailed full-round sculpture depicting a rooster (not a generic animal).

It features a collar-like connector with the shaft. Shaft: straight, smooth, and cylindrical, finished in wood with a black ebony-like lacquer finish. Lower end finished with a protective rubber tip to prevent wear during use. First half of the 20th century (circa 1920–1940). This style of walking cane was a fundamental accessory of prestige and elegance for European bourgeoisie and aristocracy. There are also style reproductions made in the second half of the 20th century. Origin: France. Canes of this craftsmanship were produced in important European artisanal and jewelry/silversmith workshops. Stamp: undecipherable. Length: 94 cm.
