Antique early 1900s Swiss folk art mountain cane

This unique antique walking cane was traditionally handmade in Switzerland and features a distinctive handle crafted from chamois horn, decorated with a small piece of chamois hide and a hoof. The shaft is made from natural thorn wood, giving the cane a wonderfully rustic and organic appearance.

The shaft is marked “Rigi-Kulm”, referring to the summit area of Mount Rigi in central Switzerland. This marking provides an interesting connection to the cane’s Alpine origin and suggests that it may have been made or sold as a souvenir for visitors to the mountain.

With its natural materials and distinctly rustic character, it would also make an interesting decorative object in a lodge or country interior.

After more than a century, the cane remains in worn antique condition and shows authentic signs of age and use. Over time, the wood and horn have developed a rich natural patina that adds considerably to its character and charm.
