Folk Art Cane, Relief Carved, Outstanding Composition and Surface
Unknown Maker
19th Century - SOLD
The handle is a hatted man waiting 1820's style coat standing on barrel; perhaps falling down drunk! The shaft with intertwined vine and clover centering milk-maid with cow, other human figures and barnyard animals displays a wonderful dark finish with great patina. An outstanding aesthetic; appears to have been carved of wood with soft center whereas there is definitive evidence of fill limited to a lower section of the core. The raised trailing vine and carvings were not compromised; ancient restoration now with perfectly matched color and patina. An examiner may likely miss the repair during inspection as we initially did. The cane is complete with custom display base.
