About the Item

Fine quality rare cherry walking stick with concealed "flask"; from the esteemed 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. This cane is rare because; for the original TWO FOOT LONG crystal "flask" (see images) to be preserved after 150 years of "use and abuse", dropping the cane, banging it here and there, and copiously removing it for "drinking purposes"-------it is just about impossible for it not to have been broken. Not to mention; the improbability that the original silver top would be there and intact; especially after drinking the flask contents---even the cork is origina!! The walking stick is in excellent and all original condition with no repairs, no replacements, and no restoration of any kind, including the 1 3/8" tip. The silver is not marked, but I have examined it and the mounts are most definitely silver. This cane is a crem de la crem of collecting and a collection of walking sticks would be incomplete without an example; and if you were only going to have one walking stick this would certainly be one to have; 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 but it is probably American or English. Dimensions: 35 1/2" long x 1 1/4" diameter (top) x 1" diameter (shaft) Note: I am a second generation antiques dealer and have been in business for 50 years; I am also a member of several prestigious antique associations. Thus, I am well qualified to inspect and evaluate the products I offer for sale and I guarantee this to be authentic and as I have described.
