Antique canes, walking sticks and umbrellas have long been a passion of mine and I offer a large selection dating from 1650 to 1950. These are not perambulatory aids, but items of fashion, individuality, power, status and profession.
A cane was designed to be worn rather than used. It showed who you were and how you viewed yourself. Whether you sported a jewelled Fabergé cane or one of whalebone fashioned by a sailor on a long sea voyage, your cane made a powerful statement. Consequently, these items are intensely personal. Each cane is redolent with the history of bygone individuals and their times.
