Antique Belle Époque Gentleman's Walking Cane Walking Stick Top Knob Silver

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.
