About the Item

Fine quality cherry wood 19th century rare bone carved dog head handle walking stick from the fabulous collection of Prince Moritz (1926-2013) who was well known for his extensive collection of art and antiques on behalf of The Foundation of The House of Hess. Fabulous handle subject matter of a carved hunting dog in fine realistic detail with floppy long ears and fine ebony accents to facial features; hair, nostrils, and jowls. Note the fine quality life-like yellowish glass eyes. Mounted below the dog is the sound and strong round carved cherry wood shaft, ending in a bold long carved 2 1/8" long bone tip, completely original and firmly intact (often these are missing, replaced or repaired). The walking stick is all original in every aspect with no repairs or restoration of any kind; the shaft maintains a nice patina and color, while the detail to the dog handle has evidence of crazing, attesting to its 150 year old genesis----great original surface and patina. Simply a wonderful and beautiful cane and a nice addition to a fine collection of antique walking sticks, especially given the Prince Moritz provenance. I have left the descriptive and identifying label on the tip of the cane for posterity. It is difficult to discern the genesis of this Circa 1880 walking stick but it is probably American or English. Dimensions: 38 1/4" long x 2 5/8" wide x 2" deep
