A jeweled walking stick, featuring a milord-shaped handle in solid silver, beautifully cast with elaborate scrolls and cartouches on an engraved and gilded background. The sides of the handle are set with four lava stones of different colors, carved in the shape of classic cameos, in contrasting shades of gray, white/gray, and mustard, depicting faces. A large red lava cameo depicting the face of Emperor Hadrian is set at the top of the handle. On either side, above the band, are two cabochon-cut sapphires, as are the sapphires at the top, below the large red lava cameo. Ebony wood barrel and metal ferrule. Signed Peruzzi, Florence, Italy, late 19th century.
The Peruzzi family of Florence, cited as silversmiths and goldsmiths in Florence, is a dynasty of artisans with a long history of silversmithing and jewelry.
The Peruzzi Brothers company traditionally dates back to 1860, founded by Giuseppe Peruzzi and his wife Giulia as a silversmith’s workshop in Florence.
At the beginning of the 20th century, their children (including Gustavo, Guglielmo “Gino”, Gastone, and Guglielmina) continued the business, leading the workshop to success.
International expansion: In 1910, some family members opened a branch in Boston (USA), under the name Fratelli Peruzzi Argentieri, strengthening the company’s international vision.
