"Around 1880: Indochinese Work For The European Market "
The fashion for Asian objects continued to spread to Europe at the end of the 19th century. The French colonial empire produced quality objects for the domestic market. Indochina, known for its silver work, adapted its production to the demands of the metropolis. It is in this context that we find walking sticks like this one, in the French style, but with knobs made by Asian artisans. Mounted on a strong Malacca cane, the embossed silver decoration is adorned with the traditional dragon and exotic foliage. The tip is iron-wound, and the whole is in very good condition.
