An Antique Stag Horn Handled Walking Stick

A traditional country walking stick featuring a handle fashioned from stag horn in an L-shaped crook form. The antler handle displays characteristic textured bark or pearling on the outer curve, while the inner surface is smoothed to a cream-coloured finish. The handle is mounted to a tapering wooden shaft, likely a light-coloured hardwood with a darkened finish, via a plain white metal collar. The collar shows some indistinct indentations but no clear hallmarks. The stick terminates in a metal ferrule.
