About the Item
Walking stick with a cane made of Malacca wood and a pommel of ox horn with bands and a gilded silver cap depicting a double-headed eagle.The pommel is made of black ox horn enriched with a silver decoration. The band is smooth, surmounted by a ring with circular decorations that continues in a series of bands with curved sides at the base and along the back of the horn, following its natural shape. At the top is a large curved openwork, closed below by a smooth plaque. The coat of arms depicted is Russian, with the crowned double-headed imperial eagle at the center, with outstretched wings, the imperial insignia of the orb, and the scepter. At the center is the Moscow coat of arms of Saint George. Surrounding it is a wreath of single laurel leaves with a ribbon at the base. The date 1917 is carved into a gilded silver plate on the right, and the initials 'I P I' in Cyrillic on the left. Signed W. A. Bolin. The venerable Bolin firm was founded in St. Petersburg in 1796 by the German Andreas Roempler. In the 1830s, his youngest daughter married Carl Edvard Bolin, a Swedish émigré. In 1834, the firm changed its name to Jahn
Bolin. Bolin and his brother Henrik Conrad later took over the firm, changing the name to Bolin. In 1839, the firm was appointed jeweler to the Swedish Imperial Court. A branch was opened in Moscow, and for many years, the firm prospered under the leadership of Wilhelm James Andreevitch Bolin (1861–1934), so much so that by the end of the century it was in direct competition with the renowned firm of Peter Carl Fabergé. Fortunately, many of the Bolins retained Swedish citizenship and purchased property in that country. By the time the Bolsheviks finally confiscated the Bolins' Russian business, the family had already opened a branch in the German spa town of Bad Homburg. In 1916, the business moved to Stockholm.Walking stick with a cane made of Malacca wood and a pommel of ox horn with bands and a gilded silver cap depicting a double-headed eagle.The pommel is made of black ox horn enriched with a silver decoration.
