<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mattiques, post: 103787, member: 1282&quot;]From what I&#039;ve read of canes from 1700 onwards they were regarded as a fashion accessory. Obviously there would have been some used for walking aid, but were a lot made as an accessory, a way to show your wealth so the fancy designed ones, especially from victorian era were more likely to have been used as a fashion accessory than purely a walking aid. Hence the niceness and complexity of some of them. </p><p><br /></p><p>Nowadays canes are pretty much purely for walking aid and maybe a decent percentage use older canes for that way but as far as I know up to 1940s a lot of canes were seen as a fashion accessory 1st.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
