We begin with a helixophile’s delight: a beautiful antique French sword walking stick, circa 1870.

This striking gentleman’s walking stick features a finely modelled silver-plated horse’s head handle set upon a gently tapering malacca shaft, complete with its original ferrule. Ingeniously designed, the cane opens to reveal a formidable triform steel blade concealed within — a superb blend of elegance and discreet functionality.

Both decorative and daring, it is a piece that effortlessly elevates the everyday.

Next, we present an impressive antique British Indian Army regimental silver-plated walking stick, dating to circa 1910.

This is a British Indian Army Regiment silver plated walking stick that features a handle that is embossed with the regimental crest and titles of notable engagement, the regiment’s name noted as “QUEEN MARY’S OWN,” – set on a tapering malacca shaft with its original tall metal ferrule.

The 127th (Queen Mary’s Own) Baluch Light Infantry – a British Indian Army regiment raised in 1844 – performed notable service in he Indian Rebellion of 1857, the Second Afghan War (1879–80), British East Africa (1897–99), and the First World War.

This remarkable cane offers not only craftsmanship but also a tangible connection to military history.

Finally, we are delighted to showcase a magnificent antique Chinese silver and malacca walking cane, circa 1880.

This beautiful antique Chinese gentleman’s evening cane features an attractive silver pommel decorated with people in an exotic garden scene.

The embossed top features figures among trees and shrines with an oval cartouche engraved with what is likely the original owner’s initials of “RC” on a sturdy, tapering shaft with its original ferrule.
