Walking
Sticks - Oscar Wilde 'wore" one; so did the Marquis de Lafayeete and
George Washington; George Bernard Shaw had several; Prince Albert was
never without his; and Queen Victoria had an impressive collection.
We're talking about walking sticks, that fashion essential of royals, Edwardians and Victorians, symbols of authority in the 17th century, and today a very hot collectible.
Ancient man's first cane was a tree branch, used to stabilize himself while walking and climbing and also to defend himself. Since then, walking sticks have been used for both decoration and practicality almost continually throughout history. Through the ages, canes represented many different symbols of power, faith, and magic until their evolution into a fashion accessory in the 16th century. During the height of the 18th and 19th centuries, the style of canes was shaped by changing social and economic conditions. To study these talismans is to gain an insight into the cultures and societies that valued them.
The word "cane" comes from ancient times when the shafts of most canes were constructed of bamboo and other rattans of the cane family. Cane became the mostly widely used material to make walking sticks, evolving later into the generic name for the product.
