About the Item
STERLING SILVER MATCH SAFE GADGET CANE
David A. Bowles, London
Circa late 20th century
35 7/8" H x 2 1/2" W (handle)
An unusual and functional gadget cane in the form of a finely modeled sterling silver gloved hand, the back of which opens with a hinge to operate as a match safe. The lid is struck with 925 purity and fully hallmarked on the upper glove for the London silversmith David A. Bowles.
The hand rests over a white collar above a slender tapering ebony shaft terminating in a ferrule. The handle shows crisp detailing from the articulated knuckles and thumb to the cuff of the glove, with the hinged panel nearly invisible when closed.
Condition: Sterling has been left with its patina intact and polish remnants in the crevices - we can polish this to perfection upon request. Minor scuffing along the shaft, overall with a fine surface. Ferrule worn and stained.
