Walking stick with ivory handle, England, 19th century
Height x width x depth: 93 x 4 x 3.4 cm
combined with a Vanitas, in the shape of a skull. At the base of the skull, there is an ivory insert, which serves as a connection between the handle and the shaft of the stick. On the back of the handle is engraved the inscription ‘VECCHIO FRANC’, a detail that could indicate the name of the owner or maker, and on the front a further inscription, probably ‘massello’, both probably posthumous.
This lot, accompanied by a CITES certificate and expertise issued by Ce.S.Ar Centro studi archeometici, is only available for sale with shipments within the European Union. (expertise Ce.S.Ar. 2025-332)
