Blade: 18th century

Equipped for a promenade or an unexpected confrontation, this Continental sword cane conceals a full-size 18th-century blade within its polished reddish-brown shaft. Its angled handle is accented by a pale grip carved with a geometric pattern and silver-colored bands. A gentleman’s accessory with a formidable secret, it combines decorative charm with the ingenuity collectors prize in system canes.
