The piece

Tally-ho pip-pip and Bernard's your uncle

consummate with age

standing on an unusually shaped scroll carved base survives from the late Georgian period

English printed cottons of similar subjects

giving the impression of control

had a definite taxidermist’s air about them

Coconuts have been carved into boxes

and metallic or stoneware items

with three carved ball and claw feet

The size of this cane may point to it being a larger piece at some stage

The premise is that they are used with dual purpose

all of the slide panels operate and the whole has survived rather well
