Description
34. Early Hard Stone Cane-Ca. 1800-Carnelian knob fashioned in a most unusual angular and tapering shape with fire gilt cap and collar. An ebony shaft takes over the square profile of the collar and tapers down in the same configuration including the horn ferrule. Where the carnelian is plain and shows the typical Silesian mottled and matt brick red color, the metal parts are finely hand chased and micro engraved with spraying foliates and boast a radiating golden tint. This German cane galvanizes the elements of quality in a glorious and one-of-a-kind setting. Its profile has lots of similarities to many of the objects of virtue which belonged to Augustus the Strong today exhibited in the “The Grünes Gewölbe” or Green Vault and let us safely assume it has close ties to the legendary lapidary workshops of Dresden. -H. 2” x 1 ½”, O.L. 35 ¾”-$2,000-$3,000
