Thomas Brigg

Thomas Brigg, the eldest child of Charles Brigg, was born on March 29, 1805. In 1828, he established a separate retail location for the family business at 23 St. James Street. By August 1829, Thomas began diversifying the business by introducing new lines, including umbrellas, which quickly gained importance. By April 1830, Charles Brigg identified himself as an umbrella maker in his will. Following Charles's passing, his daughters inherited the Charing Cross branch, while Thomas took over the St. James branch.

In 1838, just a decade after founding his business, Thomas Brigg's shop at No. 23 St. James's Street was labelled as "Brigg - Umbrella, Cane & Whip Maker" on John Tallis's pictorial plan of the area. Recognising the popularity of walking sticks as a gentleman's accessory, Brigg decided to expand his range to include high-quality walking sticks in 1838. These sticks, rooted in seventeenth-century tradition and popularised by dandies in the late eighteenth century, became essential components of a stylish gentleman's wardrobe.

Thomas and his wife Fanny had at least six children, with the eldest born in 1831 eventually taking over the family business. They worked together until around 1850, and it is believed that shortly after William's twenty-first birthday, the business adopted the name Brigg & Sons. Later, when another son named Thomas, born in 1845, joined the business, it was renamed Thomas Brigg & Sons.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

In the 19th century, walking canes transitioned from functional mobility aids into prominent symbols of social status and gentility, often crafted with precious metal collars and carved handles for formal occasions.

High-end canes from this era typically combined dense hardwoods like ebony or malacca with carved natural horn or tortoiseshell pommels, joined by gold or silver collars.

Authentic pieces frequently display hallmark stamps on precious metal bands, engraved maker names along the collar, and characteristic hand-carved detailing that reflects period craftsmanship.

Displaying antique canes inside a ceramic or cast iron stick stand beside an entryway, or mounted vertically within a glazed cabinet, adds historical texture to contemporary interiors.

Keep the cane away from direct heat sources and excessive moisture to prevent timber warping and horn degradation, dusting the metal mount gently with a soft microfibre cloth.
