A striking example of a gentleman's concealed weapon, this sword cane features a carved skull pommel and a hidden blade within. The piece is both menacing and refined, with gothic flair that made such items popular during the Victorian era. Sword canes were legal in many parts of Europe and the U.S. in the 18th and 19th centuries and were carried by gentlemen for personal defense. The skull motif suggests memento mori symbolism, reminding the carrier of mortality, often popular among the elite and artists of the period. This is a standout piece with style and bite.
