- GOLD NEW ENGLAND MARINE CANECa. 1850-Small
GOLD NEW ENGLAND MARINE CANECa. 1850-Small 18 karat yellow gold knob fashioned in a well-proportioned classic taste and elaborately hand chased and engraved with a plethora of flowers and scrolls topped by a plain round shield with engraved initials of its first owner and ending with an integral and matching multiple ring collar. So far, so good, however, what makes this cane very special is its gently tapering baleen shaft with gold eyelets and a brass ferrule, which displays throughout the specific layered structure of the noble material of the ocean and its coveted dark brown-greenish hues. Hardly encountered in the widespread cane repertoire, this first rate dress cane with apparent New England flavor is an upscale collectable with direct ties to the golden age of whaling. Indeed, ever since the Mayflower deposited the Pilgrim Fathers on the shores of Cape Cod in 1620, New Englanders have been fascinated by their marine heritage with the marine canes flourishing at a time when whaling was a respectable and entirely natural part of life. An excellent condition adds to its desirability. H. 1” x ¾”, O.L. 35” Baleen or whalebone is a filtering structure in the mouth of most whales, which they use to feed by sieving small animals from large mouthfuls of seawater. Instead of teeth, these whales have rows of baleen plates in the upper jaw – flat, flexible plates with frayed edges, arranged in two parallel rows, looking like combs with thick hair at the end of each comb tooth. Baleen is not in fact composed of bone, but of the protein keratin, the same substance as hair, horn, scales, claws and nails. Baleen whales use these combs for filter feeding. Depending on the species, a baleen plate can be 0.5 to 3,5 meters (1,6 to 11 ft) long, and weigh up to 90 kilograms (200 lb). Its hairy fringes are called baleen hair or whalebone-hair. Baleen plates are broader at the gumline. The plates have been compared to sieves or Venetian blinds. Baleen whales are characterized by having baleen plates for filtering food from water, rather than having teeth. This distinguishes them from the other suborder of cetacean, the toothed whales or Odontocete. For few up to date annotations on Marine canes extending to the present perspective to the art of the fisherman himself refer to Youssef Kadri’s book, The Mandel Cane Collection.
- TOP RATE FIGURAL MARINE CANECa. 1870-Substantial
TOP RATE FIGURAL MARINE CANECa. 1870-Substantial whale tooth knob carved to depict a whale on a whale tooth stem turned with multiple rings, deep black ebony shaft and a stag horn ferrule. The large sea creature of the open ocean with the characterizing air spout on the top of the head and spirited small eyes is imbued with the sensitivity and skill of the whaler artist and his innate aesthetics and is “Marine Art” at its best. In addition to the glorious condition, the cane is also praised by a superb, luminous surface and luster and is brimming with seductive powers. Ever since the Mayflower deposited the Pilgrim Fathers on the shores of Cape Cod in 1620, Americans and particularly New Englanders have been fascinated by their marine heritage. Ind3ed, marine canes flourished at a time when whaling was a respectable and entirely natural part of life. H. 4 ¾” x 2 ¼”, O.L. 37 ¼”
- BALEEN MARINE CANE-Ca. 1850 -Single
BALEEN MARINE CANE-Ca. 1850 -Single piece marine cane with a curving handle terminating in a stylized seal head and a cylindrical faux sprig shaft. The plain surface shows throughout the specific layered structure of the noble material of the ocean and its dark color with coveted brown-greenish hues. Hardly encountered in the widespread cane repertoire, this first rate marine cane survived in original condition with a great feel of age and has the added value of being representative for the golden age of whaling. Indeed, ever since the Mayflower deposited the Pilgrim Fathers on the shores of Cape Cod in 1620, New Englanders have been fascinated by their marine heritage with the marine canes flourishing at a time when whaling was a respectable and entirely natural part of life. -H. 3 ½” x 3 ¼”, O.L. 32 ¼” -$300-$400 -Baleen or whalebone is a filtering structure in the mouth of most whales, which they use to feed by sieving small animals from large mouthfuls of seawater.
