Cane, Folk Art, Carved, Polychrome Anonymous, "RL"
Late 19th Century - SOLD

An outstanding example featuring a fruitwood grip above an eagle carved with heart drop horn ferrule applied with brass upholstery tacks. The shaft is entirely carved and features crossed American flags centering the above mentioned heart, a rattle snake seizes an alligator's tail; a jack knife; a banded-keg above a bird above a full length figure of a man with gun. Also ornamenting this remarkable effort is a dog, a bird sitting atop a cane, and long leafy vines. The maker used a brass sewing thimble for ferrule and applied varnish overall-preserving the red, black, and green pigments that are now tightly crazed and in great patina. The overall condition is fine. Dimensions: 33.75" L.

Relief Carved Cane
Anonymous
Walnut...single piece

The orb-like head clasped by a relief-carved hand; the eight-sided collar is scratch carved, and a frog is about to be consumed by a snake. The snake's body tapers in width as it spirals downward to yet another eight-sided collar just above the ferrule. It appears that the tip was never capped with metal; cane is shellacked and in fine condition with a nearly 3-inch section of wood missing at ferrule.

Face With Hat Cane
Pennsylvania
Probably third quarter...19th century
Varnished hickory

An interesting example...the round handle worn smooth from use; traces of black paint on all surfaces. Great color and patina. The grip above shaft with seven geometric knops between each which is entasis; this slight convexity adds movement compounding the visual interest. The brass sewing thimble served well as a clever make-do ferrule. (H. 34.25; w. 5.25-inches.)
