Description

This delicate walking stick, dating back to around 1900, reflects the captivating beauty of the Art Nouveau style that was highly favoured across Europe during the period. Its design prominently features nature-inspired and curvaceous shapes, hallmarks of the movement. 

The crook handle is beautifully carved from rose quartz, a stone associated with unconditional love. The wavy design is adorned with gold at both ends, engraved with intricate stylised floral motifs, and set with diamonds, rubies, and emeralds. The collar mirrors this luxurious design on a larger scale, with the green and pink gemstones complementing the soft pink hue of the handle. 

The dark hardwood shaft tapers toward the base and is finished with a metal ferrule. The gold is stamped with spurious marks, including a Cyrillic ‘KF’ mark and ‘56’. 

This stunning walking stick is a remarkable gift for a lady, showcasing the opulence and beauty of the Art Nouveau period.
