Art Nouveau walking stick, Duilio Cambellotti and Petocchi swallows cane, Rome, Italy 1910.

Rome, Italy circa 1900.

Art Nouveau walking stick: T shaped handle starts with a plane collar over which we see the Petochi maker’s mark (silversmith), the 800 hallmark (800/1000 silver) and the CD initials with the ear (Cambellotti signature).
What make this cane really special is the material used: the handle is made out of pure blue glass (the sky) entirely wrapped by a silver and silver gilt net depicting the flight of a flock of swallows. This is one of the theme most loved by Cambellotti. Ebony shaft, polished and waxed. Iron and brass ferrule. Rome, Italy circa 1910.
