About the Item

This is a superb Chinese sterling silver-mounted Malacca walking stick, circa 1880 in date. This decorative walking cane features a splendid globular sterling silver pommel which is cast with exquisite leaf decoration. The sturdy Malacca tapering shaft features hand carved decoration depicting animals and figures in a mountainous landscape and comes complete with its original brass ferrule. A truly beautiful piece that would make a fine addition to any antique collection. Condition: In excellent condition with only minor signs of use commensurate with age, as seen in the accompanying photographs, the stick displays beautifully. Dimensions in cm: Height 115 x width 4 x depth 4 Dimensions in inches: Height 45.3 x width 1.6 x depth 1.6 Malacca wood Rare and exotic also known as "King of canes" was the most commonly used material in making the cane shafts where the standard grip was rounded and metallic. Today, designer and collector canes have sterling silver handles, and are made with wooden shafts made from various woods, including Malacca and bamboo. Ornate designs, such as animal heads, skulls, and various emblems may also be carved into the wooden handles; these may make them harder to wield, but some find them more attractive. Malacca is one species of rattan found on the coast of Sumatra. Rattan palms have long, slender stems, and were perfect for fashioning walking sticks. The stem is not round, but has a ridge or spine, often called a “teardrop,” running along its length. It is very light-weight, yet strong, with no two specimens being alike. The stem is made up of links with joints or nodes at both ends like bamboo. The bark is strong, with what appears to be a satiny, natural gloss or surface glaze. Color varies from brown to blond or reddish amber.
