Fancy canes are so beautiful you almost don’t want to use them; however they are perfect for both regular use as well as a special occasion or for collecting. So for the next few articles I’ll be going through some of the fine fancy canes we have available.

Tourist Sword Walking Cane: Made by the reputable company Fayet who have been making high quality canes since 1909, this silver plated tourist-handled walking cane is a work of art with a hidden surprise. Inisde is a 26” sword that will make you feel comfortable and is a real conversation piece. The handle’s silver plating is thick enough that it will not wear away over time. The cane is 37” and cannot be custom cut because of the blade inside. The sword cane weighs just 1.35 pounds.

Scrimshaw Canes: Scrimshaw is an ancient art form but it really came to fame when the world found that President Kennedy collected it. It is traditionally made from whalebone or ivory pieces. A picture is etched out of the whalebone or ivory and then ink is filled into the etching to bring out the picture. Since of course no whalebones or ivory can be used in the US today, the canes offered on Fashionable Canes.com are made from an authentic looking resin material and kiln finished to resist splintering and breakage. These canes are a perfect addition to a collector’s collection or for a fancy affair. The detail etched into the resin is really amazing to look at.

They are very beautiful and each has a unique character.

Another type of fancy canes are the elegant vintage antique canes which come with spectacular crystal and stainless steel handles.

Colored glass became a popular trend in the late 1800’s and into the 1900’s as the technique used to color glass became easier and more cost effective. The result was an explosion in colorful accessories for the house, jewelry, and colored handle canes. Replica canes with a colored glass handle are really enchanting, and will garner many compliments when worn.

Fancy Canes for a Special Look

Even just a few years ago, people had the idea that walking canes were simply something for older people or for those with medical ailments, like pain in legs, multiple sclerosis, arthritis, joint pain, or any other mobility related medical problem. All that is true; canes provide older people with a new sense of confidence and independence, and can bring back mobility to those suffering from medical problems.

However, canes have become much more today. Today more and more people are seeing canes as a fashion statement, and frequently purchase a fancy walking cane for a dressy night out, dance, confirmation, or anywhere else one might want to look distinguished and elegant. Others collect unique and unusual canes. Cane collecting traces back to ancient times, and there is a large crowd of people actively collecting canes, from regular canes to fancy canes. Some people even have jobs that require them to track down replicas of famous canes from movies and other things.

For such occasions, people look to buy fancy canes. As the name suggests fancy canes have style. They are both fashionable and functional; they can be used for mobility assistance as and look stylish and attractive at the same time.
