Late 19th-century gentleman’s walking cane featuring a sterling silver T-form handle with a faceted smoky quartz mounted in a 12k gold bezel. The hinged 12k gold cover opens to reveal a felt-lined compartment, likely intended for snuff or perfume—an elegant and practical feature favored in luxury canes of the Victorian era. The collar, also 12k gold, is ornamented with a pierced decorative band above a sterling shaft that terminates in a ferrule set with polished black onyx cabochons. A refined and well-crafted dual-metal cane combining mechanical ingenuity with understated elegance.Dimensions approx.: 36.5 h x 4.5 w in.Pickup & Shipping: This lot may be picked up free of charge in Sacramento, CA.
