Vandringskäpp (2) - Silverlaminerad

Italian antique silver laminated handle, gentleman's cane, civilized cane. The relief is very unique.
The style of elegant gentleman's travel has been passed down to the present and can also be used as a filial gift.
In the West, they have had the habit of "relying on canes to demonstrate" since ancient times. From the pharaohs of ancient Egypt to the gods of ancient Greece, they all held different canes to show their majesty. The kings of Europe in the Middle Ages held canes in their right hands to represent the majesty of the royal family and in their left hands to represent justice. The church also used scepters to show their majesty.
Using a cane is a symbol of honor and status.
As more and more people use it, standard etiquette norms soon appear accordingly. Traveling without a full set of accessories or not following etiquette norms will be considered uneducated. In 1702, if men in London needed to use canes on the street, they had to obtain a license permit, just like people driving now.
At that time, gentlemen usually used different canes according to the needs of different occasions. Use solid wood rough style for outdoor travel or dog walking. Use low-key style for work. Use light and luxurious design for social occasions such as dinner parties or watching dramas.

The ebony stick is straight and upright.
Purchased at an Italian antique exhibition.
