• Lot Description

  Ca. 1900 - A well-crafted silver knob, shaped like a flower ball, gracefully extends through delicate branches on a tall, slender cylindrical stem. The single-brand flowers are thoughtfully arranged side by side, each showcasing exquisite hand chasing and intricate details in stunning low relief. This piece reflects artistry and care, inviting you to appreciate its beauty and craftsmanship. Alongside the work, the knob's quality is also evident due to a noticeable weight relative to its size and two tiny hallmarks, which were arguably associated with a Russian, Western taste-oriented, St Petersburg provenance. The handle is graced by a richly hued cherry wood shaft with a high-grade French polish surface and a tall horn ferrule. The previous owner frequently mentioned that he imported the wood for the shaft at considerable expense from Japan, where he worked in the early 1970s. The wood was cut from a century-old cherry tree in Kyoto's legendary gardens. Be it a celebration of the spring meant to elevate its wearer's style or a straightforward allusion to flowers, this superb cane survived flawlessly and is now available to bring a new vibrancy to any collection. H. 4” x 1 ¾”, O.L. 36 ¾”
