About the Item

American Aesthetic/Japonisme Sterling Mounted Root Cane Attributed to Gorham An exquisite American Aesthetic/Japonisme Sterling Mounted Root Cane, Attributed to Gorham date lettered 'F' for 1873. This 35-inch masterwork features a natural root adorned with meticulously applied silver mounts. Some mounts carry profound symbolism: a moth symbolizing rebirth and the cyclical nature of life in Taoism and Buddhism, a bee representing diligence and industriousness, and a crab—a potent emblem of wealth, renewal, and sea adventures in Japanese folklore—graces the silver collar on the shaft. This cane not only embodies the fusion of American Aesthetic movement elements but also pays homage to the Japanese influence prevalent during the period. Its sterling marking and the letter 'F' denote its exceptional craftsmanship and date of creation, offering not just a walking aid but a tangible piece of history steeped in cultural significance and timeless artistry. A true collector's piece, this cane speaks volumes about the era's harmonious blend of East and West during the late 19th century.
