A collection of five varied walking sticks and canes, accompanied by an animal-themed umbrella stand and a woven-topped stool. The walking sticks comprise five distinct pieces of varied style. These include an ornate cane with a gold-toned embossed metal handle featuring scroll and floral decoration on a dark-stained hardwood shaft. A traditional bentwood walking stick is present, featuring a curved crook handle and showing natural wood grain. Also included is an industrial-style cane with a large, ribbed silver-toned metal handle on a wooden shaft. Two modern patterned canes complete the group: one features a matching floral handle and shaft, while the other has a black resin derby-style handle on a metal shaft with geometric decoration and a wrist strap. The umbrella stand is a square, tapering metal container with openwork panels showing elephant silhouettes, finished with ball finials and a dark patinated surface. The stool or plant stand has a square woven rush or seagrass seat on a dark metal wrought-style frame with scroll feet and twisted-wire cross-bracing.
