Adolphe Thiers Bronze-handled Walking Stick, 19th Century

A wooden walking stick topped with a bronze pommel depicting Adolphe Thiers (1797–1877), a major political figure in 19th-century France and the first president of the Third Republic. This type of portrait belongs to the production of political walking sticks circulated at the end of the 19th century, in a context marked by the dissemination of satirical and commemorative objects related to public life.

The pommel has a patina consistent with its period, and the shaft is made of varnished wood. This type of walking stick is intended for collectors of political objects and curiosities from the Third Republic.
