RARE ANTIQUE CIRCA 1755 AMBER & GOLD TOPPED GENTLEMANS WALKING CANE BY TYTHER
A rare early gentlemans walking cane by Tyther, dating from around 1755The top is of amber, with an unmarked high carat gold band and eyelet surroundThe makers name is impressed into the stick just below the gold bandLength approx 105 cm
I have found a very interesting article about John Tyther, who had a shop in London in the early 1750's. The shop was a musical instrument and walking ca...ne shop, but mainly specialized in selling exotic birds and animals. His ads were amazing - advertising grey & green parrots, monkeys, harpsichords, mongoose and a selection of exceedingly fine long walking canes! His mixed business also had adverts offering to buy "rough amber" - so interesting as this cane for sale has an amber top!In an advert from the Summer of 1756 he made special mention of a cane that was "the finest long cane in England"John Tyther died in 1773
Condition - Amber top has some wear / scratches, ferrule is dented, cane has general mark commensurate with age and use, photos are a fair representation of the condition
