"Galerie Segas launches a part of its rare Canes and walking sticks catalogue"

"Animal figured canes, cane curiosa or decorative or precious canes are now visible on the Galerie's website"

Paris, 28 June 2009 - Galerie Segas finally launches a part of its rare Canes and Walking sticks catalogue. Antique canes lover may now visit a small part of the Galerie Segas Canes catalogue. The online catalogue will progressively enrich with many new and interesting acquisitions. Today accessible categories of the online catalogue are:

Popular Art Canes,

Animal figured canes,

Decorative or Precious Canes,

Cane Curiosa,

and Canes made of Unnusual Materials.

Browsing these categories, you will discover interesting examples of beautiful and ingenious creations, some practical, others precious and aesthetic, others eccentric and bizarre: let's discover this hazel made monoxylic popular art cane with handle sculpted of a chameleon, this elegant parrot's head in corozo nut (which is a vegetal ivory), or this knob in polychromic wood, sculpted of a beautiful parrot, or this horse gauge cane and even an oenologist cane, or this legant square handled cane with a shaft entirely made of light horn washers and dark horse hoof washers.

Rare walking sticks and antique canes for collecting are Galerry Segas specialty. Walking sticks expert, in Paris from 1975, Gilbert Segas is a history lover and Gallery Segas are an endless source of history, images and documents. He offered us five virtual exhibitions
