Gold-Plated Walking Stick with Faceted Knob & Dedication

This striking antique walking stick features a gold-plated faceted knob handle, engraved with a continuous linear motif across all six sides—an unusual and visually compelling detail that elevates its design. At the center of its appeal is a discreetly engraved dedication, commemorating a gift given in tribute: "Presented to Chief Barnes by O.S. Firemen." While the recipient may have faded from historical record, the cane itself endures as a symbol of recognition, leadership, and public esteem.

The handle is modestly scaled—1.45 inches in length and 1.10 inches in diameter—with crisp, chiseled angles that create a refined geometric silhouette. A minimal collar joins the shaft cleanly, allowing the knob to remain the focal point. The black wooden shaft stands 33.25 inches tall and tapers with subtle precision, offering a well-balanced form suited for display or ceremonial presentation.

Whether admired for its unusual design, its commemorative history, or its sculptural quality, this walking stick speaks to a quiet, purposeful elegance that remains timeless.

The Timeless Appeal of Antique Walking Sticks

For centuries, walking sticks have been more than just practical aids—they’ve served as symbols of status, craftsmanship, and personal expression. From the ornately carved canes of the Victorian era to the ingenious hidden-compartment canes favored by 19th-century gentlemen, these pieces tell a fascinating story of artistry and innovation.

Antique canes come in a variety of styles, including:

🔹 Dress Canes – Elegant accessories crafted from materials like ebony, silver, and ivory.
🔹 Folk Art Canes – Hand-carved sticks, often featuring whimsical motifs or storytelling engravings.
🔹 Gadget Canes – Ingenious designs incorporating hidden tools, measuring sticks, or even flasks.
🔹 Defense & Sword Canes – Once carried for protection, these canes conceal blades or defensive mechanisms.

At Worth & Company, we take pride in curating authentic, high-quality antique walking sticks that blend history, function, and artistry. Whether you’re a serious collector or simply appreciate the elegance of a well-crafted cane, our collection offers pieces that stand the test of time.
