About the Item

This silver knob was made during the Belle Époque in the last decade of the nineteenth century. It ressembles the shape of a stylized thistle, embellished by a criss cross engraving. The knob was intended for a gentlemen's walking stick. It is made from silver and has the 800 mark impressed on the rim. The inside of the hollow knob is filled with a hard unidentified material, we still can see the impression a screw on the top of the wooden walking stick used to to join the wood to the knob has left on the hardened material, possibly a wax alloy.
