About the Item

This is a beautiful antique Victorian gentleman's walking cane with a lovely ormolu domed pommel, dating from the late 19th century. The elegant ormolu handle is beautifully chased with foliate and floral decoration and features an engraved monogram to the top. It is directly mounted on a delightful malacca shaft with its original brass ferrule on the end. Add an extravagant element to your daily life with this wonderful antique walking cane. Condition: In excellent condition, with minor signs of use consistant with age and use. Dimensions in cm: Height 84.5 x width 4.5 x depth 4.5 Dimensions in inches: Height 33.3 x width 1.8 x depth 1.8 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. Colour varies from brown to blond or reddish amber.
