About the Item
CARVED WALKING STICK WITH AVIAN HANDLE
Probably English or Continental, circa early 20th century
34 3/8" H x 1" D x 4 5/8" W
This finely carved walking stick features a carefully detailed bone handle in the form of a stylized bird, likely a toucan or hornbill, its elongated beak curving gracefully to form the crook. The surface of the head is incised with geometric plumage patterns which create a subtle texture and definition to the handle. The cane tapers slightly, the hardwood carefully stippled and finished in a warm, silky translucent patina. It terminates in a simple ferrule.
Condition:
Very good original condition, minor wear along the shaft and faint age-related hairlines to the handle. Stable, sturdy and fully functional.
