- HARD STONE DRESS CANE-Ca. 1900 -Plain
HARD STONE DRESS CANE-Ca. 1900 -Plain Lapis Lazuli ball knob of most unusual and highly decorative striped structure, plain white metal collar ebony shaft and a horn ferrule. Generally seen as mascots and likely to be individually chosen for personal reasons, canes with hard stone ball knobs started to become popular in the third part of the 19th Century to reach their peak around 1920. Their varieties make them great and decorative collectables. -Lapis lazuli was always highly prized: In Mesopotamia this blue stone symbolized the heavens and so was used to decorate the ceilings of temples. In Egypt it was used to adorn statues of the gods, while in Europe, viewed as a cure for melancholy and fever, it was reserved for the very wealthy people and one of Faberge’s favorite precious stones. -Diameter 2”, O.L. 38 ¾” -$400-$500
