VICTORIAN IVORY SNARLING BULLDOG CANE

This large snarling ivory bulldog cane is Victorian. The 2-3/8 x 1-3/8 inch dog's head is superbly carved. He is wearing an unmarked metal collar and two sterling bands below. The shaft is ebonized hardwood with a metal tip. The overall length is 34-1/2 inches. This is a wonderful animal cane. Canes with biting dog heads became fashionable with the spread of the French bulldog breed in Europe around 1880.
