Where should I place a cane holder?

Position your holder near the primary entrance of the home where family members and guests remove wet outerwear. Ensure there is enough clearance around the piece for walking sticks and umbrellas to be retrieved easily without obstruction.

How do I protect the floor?

Most traditional stands include an original metal tray at the base to catch water dripping from wet items. Check that this tray remains watertight and empty it periodically to prevent moisture from reaching wooden floorboards.

Can these hold heavy walking sticks?

The sturdy timber and cast iron construction of these holders makes them well-suited for heavy wooden and metal-tipped canes. Their substantial weight prevents tipping even when several heavy walking sticks lean against one side.

How do I clean wooden stands?

Dust the timber surfaces regularly with a dry cloth and apply occasional wax to nourish the grain of the oak or mahogany. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners that might strip the historic finish or corrode the brass and copper components.
