“The best, the most exquisite automobile is a walking stick, and one of the finest things in life is going on a journey with it”
Robert Coates Holliday
Canes have been treasured for centuries as objects of often startling beauty, elegance and ingenuity. With a history dating back centuries they have been symbols of power and faith, statements of wealth and have been used as weapons, gadgets and even smuggling devices. To coincide with the bi-annual Canemania 2014 conference taking place in London 10-13 September, Christie’s offers this selection of canes to showcase the variety of materials, forms and styles available in this enthralling collecting field.
