Description
Walking stick with a curved handle. European school. 19th century Turned and polished mahogany with a silver handle and ferrule. Measures 91 cm in height. This walking stick features a straight, slender shaft crafted from warm-toned, fine-grained mahogany, finished with a curved silver handle of understated elegance. The two materials are joined by a ringed ferrule that visually enhances the transition between the wood’s satin finish and the metal’s subtle sheen. The handle has a continuous, ergonomic curve, with discreet, chiselled plant motifs at its ends—an ornamental detail that avoids ostentation and maintains the overall functional elegance. The precision of the turning, the elongated proportions of the shaft, and the quality of the polish reflect the refinement of 19th-century European men’s accessories, when the walking stick came to embody practical, social and symbolic value in equal measure. Its distinguished presence and the harmony of its materials make it a remarkable example of the decorative arts associated with 19th-century clothing and urban etiquette. 91 cm tall
