Description
Scottish ebony and hallmarked silver walking stick or cane with an unusual agate sphere pommel. The silver crown collar is shaped so the the sphere can sit into it. So rare to find these undamaged as this one is. We've had these before but never with such clear, geometric colouration within the stone. The silver collar was assayed in Birmingham as shown in the pictures, date letter for 1895 and makers mark for Julius Blanckensee of Regent Street, Birmingham. The silver collar is engraved beautifully with a blank cartouche to one side. The agate is beautiful with bold swirls of colour through the stone. Much better in daylight than in the pictures. Strong ebony shaft which compliments the agate perfectly. The ferrule is made of cast brass. Good looking stick and strong enough to support a good weight. Please contact us with any questions you may have.
