The eyes are accentuated by a sulphide eye, a refined detail that adds depth and character to the piece.

The silvered bronze handle features beautiful relief work evoking the bird's plumage, while the dark and dense ebony shaft gives the stick a sleek, understated, and very elegant line. The combination of these noble materials makes it an accessory that is as decorative as it is symbolic.

Both utilitarian and ornamental, this walking stick evokes the masculine elegance of the late 19th and early 20th centuries and belongs to the tradition of prestige walking sticks, often carried as a sign of distinction.

Good condition, with slight signs of age and a beautiful patina from use.

This walking stick will look equally at home carried with an elegant suit or displayed as a decorative object in a refined interior, a cabinet of curiosities, or a collection of antique accessories. See less
