Hainan Rosewood Bird Wing Cane
Hainan Rosewood Bird Wing Cane
This elegant walking cane features a Hainan rosewood handle caved into the likeness of a birds' wing. This wood is the most expensive wood in the entire world, even bead sized pieces of Hainan rosewood can sell for hundreds of dollars - it is quite precious. The scarcity is due largely to demand for centuries leading the species to near extinction. Hainan rosewood was the wood of choice of the Chinese emperor's furniture for several dynasties. Such pieces only exist in museums today. Very little Hainan rosewood was ever exported outside of China so it is quite exciting to be able to offer this cane. This particular piece of rosewood has curl figure in it making it rarer and its chatoyant qualities even more accentuated. The copper divider complements the warm colorful tones of the rosewood. A shaft of ultra curly yellow box wood from Australia is another rare and beautiful piece. Total length measures 38" and can be shortened to fit.
