Description
A great carved ivory cane of racing horses. The large walrus ivory handle is 1 3/4" high and 4 3/4" long. It depicts two horses with glass eyes in a very close race, with one winning by a nose. The carving is very nicely detailed with the straining horses having mouths agape and veins protruding. There is a 1 1/4" decorated silver collar with an unmarked shield cartouche on a malacca shaft with a 2 1/4" brass and iron ferrule. The overall length is 34 1/2" and the condition is very good. It is perhaps American, ca 1880 and it is a high quality carved ivory example. Estimate: $1500-$2500.
