About the Item

Walking stick: Large, finely carved ivory handle in the shape of a bequille. It depicts a female bust, a bare-breasted woman wearing a finely detailed straw hat. This typical handle shape, with scrolls ending in a volute, is called a bequille and is closely associated with porcelain handles made by major European manufacturers, particularly the Meissen porcelain manufactory, which began producing Europe's first hard-paste porcelain in 1710. Cane made of malacca wood with silver-gilt eyelets for the wrist strap. Metal ferrule. Germany, mid-18th century. See: Catherine Dike and Guy Bezzaz, La Canne Objet d’Art, Les Éditions de l’Amateur, Paris, 1988, pp. 146–147. Museum of Art and Craft, Hamburg. Roberta Maneker, Vertical Art The Enduring Beauty of Antique Canes and Walking Sticks, Hudson Hills Press LLC, Manchester, Vermont, 2008, p. 228, caption no. 303. (SHIPPING TO THE EU ONLY)
