Antique Walking Cane with Silver Pommel Handle

$71.00

Description

This elegant antique walking cane exemplifies the refined gentleman's accessories of a bygone era. The warm honey-toned wooden shaft tapers gracefully from a substantial silver-capped pommel top, reflecting the craftsmanship and attention to detail characteristic of late 19th to early 20th century walking stick makers. The rounded silver pommel handle is a classic 'egg' or 'ball-top' style, once favored by men of distinction for both functional support and as a fashion statement. This style of cane was a staple of the well-dressed Victorian and Edwardian gentleman's wardrobe, signaling status and sophistication. An excellent addition to any antique cane or walking stick collection, display piece, or period costume accessory. This piece carries genuine character and historical charm that only authentic antiques can offer.

This charming pair of footed pressed glass salt cellars exemplifies the decorative tabletop artistry popular in American and European households during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The bold swag-and-tassel cut pattern around the bowl rim and the faceted pedestal base reflect the period's love of ornate, light-catching glassware at even the most intimate scale. Salt cellars of this style were standard fixtures on Victorian and Edwardian dining tables, presented alongside individual salt spoons for each diner — a tradition that speaks to an era of formal entertaining and meticulous table setting. The generous open-bowl form suggests these may have also served as individual nut or condiment dishes. The matched pair format is particularly desirable among collectors, making these an attractive find for anyone assembling a period table setting or building a pressed glass collection.
