Saint Cloud Cane & Handle #2

This is a cane handle made by St-Cloud during the first quarter of the 18th century. This one comes attached to a wooden cane that is apparently original to it as I have found this same exact type of cane with this same style of handle at a recent cane auction and it sold for almost 2500 Dollars. The handle is softpaste porcelain and nicely handpainted with the typical underglaze blue decoration with a flower on the top part. A typical pattern all around as well. This cane handle is in great condition with some of the top clearcoat glaze is worn from use but that is common on softpaste porcelain. There are some black marks on the top as well where the cane hit something dark and some of the dark color rubbed of onto the cane it seems. Should come clean if need be I would think. In really good condition for other tops I have seen/owned. It is unmarked as far as I can see since it is attached but that is the norm anyway. The handle is 2 inches tall and 1.25 inches in diameter. A rare little item from one of the best makers from the 18th century! The cane part is in good condition with some minor scratches, the bottom metal has been flattened a bit from use and the leather strap that goes through the hole in the top is new. The metal around the whole and the metal that hold the porcelain top and the wooden cane together seems to be silver. The entire cane is about 35 inches long. Please email me for more information or other pictures.

Price is $1499
