About this item
The Essentials
Late Victorian gentleman's dress cane, circa 1885–1900 Gold-filled or rolled-gold engraved pommel on an ebonised hardwood shaft Dense Rococo Revival scroll and foliate decoration Tiny engraved JL initials within the decoration Good antique condition with age-related wearDescription
A late Victorian dress cane with an unusually extensively worked gold-filled pommel, covered in scrolling leaves and tightly engraved Rococo Revival ornament. The decoration continues around the full handle, with polished scrollwork set against densely cut darker grounds and a smooth crown left above.
A tiny pair of initials, apparently JL, is worked discreetly into the lower engraving and may relate to the maker or engraver. Gold-filled pommel canes of this type were being produced by specialist American jewellery firms during the late nineteenth century, combining elaborate metalwork with the simple black ebonised shafts fashionable for gentleman's dress canes.
