Hi,

Would someone be able to help me with the origins and style of this cane? Art Nouveau?

Thank You,

Dennis

Not Art Nouveau. Late 1800s early 1900s seems reasonable, but the style is not Nouveau.

I see in your other post you mention rosewood. The only rose flower bush wood I've seen used was from the root, so I can't say anything about the cane shaft, other than the twig knots seem far too regular for a rose bush.

There are about 40 different trees called rose wood, and I've seen the wood from a few. Alas, no help in identifying your cane shaft.

Where did you find the stick? Sometimes having a date and location for the original owner helps narrow things down.

Have to agree but i think your looking anytime up to the 1930.Not a gentlemans stick possibly a farmers or a rurual tradesman

its not art nouveau its to busy in design. Is the casting made of silver? cant tell from photo It does seem to suggest a mixture of styles.check to see if there is a hall mark
