Description

With a triangular fullered blade this early 18th Century sword stick has a painted malacca handle and haft, a green/brown base coat is detailed by black painted rings and lines to the hounds head. A rather nice detail is the protruding hounds tongue.

It ends in a long, brass ferrule which further confirms the date. The long ferrule is to prevent the wooden haft from coming into contact with mud, which may also indicate it being a country stick perhaps associated with hunting.

It is in exceptional original condition.

Size:

Length - 37" (94cm)

Blade Length - 25.25" (64cm)

Width Handle - 2.75" (7cm)

Diameter of the haft - 1" (2.5cm)

FAQs

A sword stick is a walking cane containing a concealed blade, which gained popularity among gentlemen in the 18th and 19th centuries for personal defence during travel.

These items were typically constructed from hardwoods such as oak, mahogany, or exotic timbers, featuring carved handles made from wood, bone, ivory, or horn, paired with forged steel blades.

Authentic pieces display period-appropriate wear, hand-forged steel with correct metallurgical characteristics, traditional joinery methods, and natural ageing of the patina on both the handle and shaft.

This type of historical artefact is often displayed mounted on a wall bracket or housed within a traditional umbrella stand in a study or hallway to highlight its craftsmanship.

Preservation involves maintaining a stable indoor humidity to prevent wood splitting, occasionally applying microcrystalline wax to the wooden shaft, and lightly oiling the hidden steel blade to prevent corrosion.
