About the Item
19th C. Italian Hallmarked Silver Gilt 3-Dimensional Medici Lion & Orb Cane
Italy, 19th Century, Unidentified Hallmark
A stunning 19th-century Italian silver gilt/vermeil Medici Lion & Orb cane, a masterful work of sculptural artistry. This unique piece features a 3-dimensional rendition of the Medici Lion, showcasing the exceptional craftsmanship of the silversmith. The lion's muscular form, flowing mane, and regal expression exude elegance and authority, evoking the lion's symbolic role as a guardian. With its right paw resting firmly on an orb and the left paw on the ground, the design captures a sense of strength and composure.
The cane measures 36.5 inches high, with the lion handle itself measuring 3 inches high, 3 inches wide, and 1.5 inches deep. The hardwood cane shaft, slightly tapering to a 0.75-inch diameter, is both stylish and functional, complemented by a brass and steel ferrule/heel for added stability and durability.
Hallmarked (though the mark is unidentified), this cane is not only a functional walking aid but also a collectible piece of history and artistry. Perfect for display, use, or as a conversation starter, it embodies timeless Italian craftsmanship. Ready to place, use, or enjoy, this cane is a remarkable example of 19th-century silversmithing and design excellence.
Overall Measurements:
36.5 inches high x 3.5 inches wide x 1.5 inches deep
