Decorative Canes for Support as a Prestigious Ornament

The first association when we hear the word canes is usually with those used as a support for the body in cases of leg injuries or lower back issues. However, their history can be traced back to primitive people who carved long sticks. They used them for support while walking and as weapons during hunting. As humanity and civilization evolved, support sticks changed in appearance and significance, with decorative canes becoming symbols of power and social status.

One of the most famous historical exhibits in this regard is the wooden cane from Bytom, which can be admired at the Upper Silesian Museum in that city. It most likely dates back to the late 18th century. It was discovered only during urban archaeological work in the Market Square at the end of the last century. It measures 60 centimeters in length, and its asset is the richly carved wooden decorations. Archaeologists paid particular attention to the six-pointed star. Unfortunately, they cannot determine the specific role of this decorative cane in the times it originates from. However, they emphasize that it is the oldest exhibit of its kind found in our country.

Decorative Canes from the Second Half of the 19th Century

Exclusive walking canes played a special role in the second half of the 19th century. They were divided into men's and women's canes. Women's canes were thinner and more delicate, with different decorations, especially on the knob, suggesting a Lady's elegance. Men, on the other hand, had thicker, more robust supports, with handles often hiding additional functions, such as alcohol vials or knives. Decorated canes were symbols of a man's power. In the second half of the 19th century, metal canes with ivory handles dominated. Bamboo versions, known for their remarkable lightness, were also common.
