Crafted in the 20th century, this refined walking stick exemplifies the opulent designs in the style of Fabergé. Under the leadership of Peter Carl Fabergé (Russian, 1846–1920), the firm produced an array of luxurious objects, from picture frames to walking sticks, all highly coveted by aristocracy. Their most prestigious patrons included the Russian Tsars, who commissioned numerous exquisite pieces.
The delicate handle is adorned with exquisite guilloché enamel, its light blue hue accentuating the intricate patterning on the underlying metal. Silver-gilt scrolling foliate mounts elegantly frame the enamelled handle, while a reeded band, embellished with detailed leaf motifs, enhances its decorative appeal.
Crowning the walking stick is an inset diamond, adding a shimmering touch of luxury to this collectible. The ornate handle is supported by a sleek hardwood shaft, which tapers down to a metal ferrule.
The band bears a spurious Cyrillic ‘MP’ mark, alongside two additional Russian stamps.
With its striking design and imperial aesthetic, this walking stick is a remarkable addition to any collection, particularly for those with an appreciation for Russian decorative arts.
