This late 19th to early 20th-century walking stick features an intricately carved handle in the form of a whippet’s head with fine detailing, crafted from naturally patinated horn. The expressive figure incorporates glass eyes and subtle collar lines, transitioning to a repoussé silver collar with foliate scrollwork. The shaft is shaped from well-figured faux bamboo wood, terminating in a metal ferrule.
Dimensions approx.: 35" h x 3.25" w
