About the Item

This one-of-a-kind Austrian hiking staff has been handcrafted from solid oak. Oak is a relatively lightweight yet sturdy material, which lends itself perfectly as a hiking staff. Many handmade staffs were created in Austria, due to its geographic location. This particular one is topped with a silver cap that has been hand-chased with a crown as well as floral details. Playing off of the cap are five silver bands spaced throughout the body of the staff. Each motif has an ornate nature-like design composed of flowers and decorative leaves. At the bottom of the staff, there is a brass tip, a common element of hiking staff. It helps improve the comfort of use by absorbing some of the impact of the stick against the ground while also increasing longevity. The contrast between the silver and oak creates a beautiful rustic look. This particular staff would be a conversation-starting piece for any home needing an organic element or a great gift for an outdoor enthusiast. Top circumference= 2.25 in, bottom circumference =0.25 in. Length 52.5 in. 5 lbs.

Late 19th Century Live Size Renaissance Revival Italian Figural Carved Sculpture
Located in Chicago, IL
This late 19th-century carved wooden sculpture is a lifesize depiction of a young nobleman of the Italian Renaissance. The piece is made entirely from wood and carved gesso under an ebonized finish, giving it the illusion of an oxidized bronze sculpture. The young man is posed in a classic Contrapposto stance, which is an Italian term that means "counterpoise". This term usually refers to a standing human figure carrying its weight on one leg so that the opposite hip rises to produce a relaxed curve in the body, a dynamic pose that is most associated with Renaissance art. He establishes his stance with a hand on his large belt and one hand in the air holding a torch. This Renaissance revival piece is highly detailed through intricate workmanship, down to the Lion of Saint Mark...
