Shell Cameo On Repose (8744)
Here is an unusual combination, a hand carved shell cameo on a sterling repose handle. If you look at the repose it is very heavy and deeply chased. There is no brass under the sterling like presentation canes, and because the silver is so heavy they don't dent easily. Shell cameo's are carved from the outer layer of the conch shell into the inter brown layer, making the cameo all one piece. This entire piece is in mint condition. Shells are no flat like hardstone cameo's, notice the complicated bezel on the closeup of the cameo. Circa 1890. This is a very rare cane and comes with my highest recommendation.
