French Antique Silver-Gilt and Onyx Cane

About the Item

French antique silver-gilt and onyx cane French, c. 1900 Height 88cm, diameter 2.5cm Superbly crafted in late 19th century France, this exquisite cane exemplifies superior craftsmanship, incorporating premium materials with remarkable precision and intricate detailing. The elegant handle, carved from rich onyx, is adorned with silver-gilt embellishments, featuring delicate openwork scrolls interwoven with floral motifs, including irises. At its pinnacle, a finely sculpted cameo portrait of a Roman figure, possibly Zeus, the god of the sky, is set against the deep onyx background, creating a striking visual contrast. The slender hardwood shaft tapers gracefully before concluding with a brass ferrule. Inspired by Roman mythology, this cane is a captivating piece, making it a superb acquisition for collectors drawn to classical influences and ornate decorative arts.
