- GOLD AND CHYSOPRAS DRESS CANE-Ca. 1890
GOLD AND CHYSOPRAS DRESS CANE-Ca. 1890 -Fashioned of pale green chrysopras in a well-proportioned, vertically stretching plain shape that enhances the stone luminosity, the gently linear tapering knob is embellished with two wider yellow gold collars hand chased and engraved with encircling laurel leaves and two matching, slender and filigreed other ones with trailing flowers. The knob comes with a 7 ½” tall and narrowing snake wood stem on a first-rate, deep black and close pored ebony shaft and a horn ferrule. -Characteristic of the Austrian taste of the imperial capital in the last quarter of the 19th century, this cane is luxury and beauty defined. -Chrysopras is a highly valuable translucent apple-green chalcedony that derives its color from nickel. Its hardness and striking color make it a popular gemstone for jewelry as well as carvings. The name Chrysopras is from the Greek words for “golden apple” or “golden leek”. Chrysopras first became a popular gem in Europe after deposits in Szklary, Lower Silesia, Poland were discovered in the 1700s. -Notable is that chrysopras found its way into canes with Frederick II or Frederick the Great who first used this stone for his legendary canes. -H. 2 ¾” x ¾”, O.L. 38 ½” -$700-$900
