Antique Silver Boar Head Walking Stick Cane Duchy Luxembourg 19thc 101cm/39.5"

19th century
For Sale by Regent Antiques
Description

This is a beautiful antique German silver Boar head pommel handled walking stick, dated 1889.

 

The striking stick features a highly detailed boar head silver handle with superb detailed cast decoration on a gently tapering ebonized wood shaft with its original brass ferrule.

It is inscribed Weihnachen 1889 (Christmas 1889) with a crown oak tree and monogram (The Order of the Oak Crown, of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg).

The Order of the Oak Crown (French: Ordre de la Couronne de chêne, German: Eichenlaubkronenorden, Luxembourgish: Eechelaafkrounenuerden) is an order of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg.

The Order of the Oak Crown remained a solely Luxembourgish honour; subsequently, the Netherlands established the Order of Orange-Nassau instead.

 

Since the accession of Grand Duke Adolphe, the order has been primarily used as an award for Luxembourgish citizens, although membership has occasionally been conferred on foreigners, mainly on members of foreign royal families or on eminent foreigners with Luxembourgish ancestors.

 

Add an extravagant element to your daily life with this wonderful walking cane.

This Victorian walking stick stands 101 cm high, 4 cm wide, and 3 cm deep, created in the nineteenth century in a gentleman's library style. The piece comprises a silver boar head pommel and an ebonized wood shaft, finished in silver and black. Cast decoration renders textured fur details across the head, while an engraved silver collar bears the inscription Weihnachen 1889 alongside a crown oak tree and monogram. The handle forms a sculpted animal head finial showing an open mouth with visible teeth and a snout, mounted above a rounded collar moulding on a dark straight shaft. Positioned beside the front door, the walking stick serves as a practical accessory for outdoor excursions or as a decorative display piece in an entrance hall or study. The construction combines a heavy metallic top grip with a gently tapering wooden lower section, providing balance and traditional utility for daily use. Collectors of period canes or items connected to European history will find this Victorian piece a distinctive addition to a hallway stand or umbrella rack.

FAQs

A novelty top walking stick features a decorative pommel sculpted into thematic forms, such as animal heads, figures, or emblems, which gained wide popularity during the nineteenth century.

Nineteenth-century walking sticks frequently combined silver or brass handles with dense hardwoods such as ebony, malacca, or stained beech shafts.

Authentic pieces typically feature maker marks or silver purity stamps along the collar, period-correct hand-chasing, and original oxidisation within carved details.

Walking sticks can be displayed inside a cast iron or porcelain hall stand, styled beside a console table, or mounted horizontally on a wall in a study.

Silver handles should be polished gently using a soft microfibre cloth and specialized silver cream, ensuring moisture does not soak into the wooden shaft.
