Canes & Pole Arms
Canes: Canes were a mandatory part of a gentleman's attire. All of our canes are produced in our shop. They are available in a variety of wood cane blanks; teak, rosewood, ebony and india-Moro. Cane heads are available with lost-wax cast urn-shaped heads or lion's head in either white bronze or brass. Antler heads are available in their natural crown shape, or turned to take off some of the roughness. The sword cane was also quite common two hundred years ago, and we make ours available with most of the various cane heads as with the standard canes.
