French Gold Monocular Cane

An engraved monocular crafted of 15K yellow gold rests atop this fine malacca walking stick. Most likely used for an evening at the opera or other stage production, this French cane would have given the wearer a better view of the action happening on stage. Inset into the top of the monocular is the glass-protected portrait of a lady.
