The albatross handled walking stick in our opinion the collar is silver, but it does not have any hallmarks. They appear to be in overall good original condition. The ebonised cane with silver cap is hallmarked, the Indian/Celanese elephant head cane has one tusk broken, several ivory bead inlays missing and ferule lacking.

Damage and loss to the foot and numerous areas of flaky paint loss in particular to the lower section. Fair condition only.

Some light wear and discolouration to the painted finish. Would benefit from a clean. And some mild pitting and deterioration to the finish as to be expected.

This piece has been restored with later refinishing/painting to the figure. The figure also appears to have been remounted to the base. The stone base edges front back on both sides are painted not black marble/slate. An attractive piece but with alterations.

Scuffs, scratches and nibbles to the onyx stand, attractive crystalline structure throughout. No repairs or restorations evident, the figures in our opinion have had some later touch up repainting but an attractive genuine pair of book ends.
