Stepped laurel shaft and a metal ferrule. Canine portraiture at its best with virtually no precedent in the widespread walking stick repertoire, this cane is one of those spirited objects from the era before mass production lowered quality and a celebration of Viennese art from the golden imperial days. H. 3” x 2”, O.L. 4 ¾” Throughout art history, mainly in Western art, there is an overwhelming presence of dogs as status symbols and pets in painting. The dogs were brought to houses and were allowed to live in the house. They were cherished as part of the family, and were regarded highly by the upper classes, who used them for hunting and could afford to feed them. Hunting dogs were generally connected to the aristocracy. Only the nobility were allowed to keep hunting dogs, and this would signal status. It was the signalment of a noble man. By the Victorian era, the mainly sporting tradition remained but after the establishment of The Kennel Club in the UK in 1873 and the American Kennel Club in 1884 introduced breed standards or 'word pictures', dog portraits soared in popularity.
