About the Item

This is a beautiful antique English gentleman's malacca and sterling silver pommel walking / sword stick bearing hallmarks for London 1888. The striking stick features an ornate silver pommel embossed with scrolling foliage and pierced collar on a gentle tapering malacca shaft. It has its original ferrule and opens to reveal triform polished steel sword. Add an extravagant element to your daily life with this wonderful walking cane. Condition: In excellent condition. As antique items, the piece show signs of use commensurate with age, these minor condition issues are mentioned for accuracy and, as seen in the accompanying photographs, the stick displays beautifully. Dimensions in cm: Height 83 x width 4 x depth 4 Dimensions in inches: Height 2 foot, 9 inches x width 2 inches x depth 2 inches 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.
