A Short History Of Decorative Walking Canes
Early on in history, the walking cane was probably used more as a weapon and for protection than anything else. After all, they can be pretty handy even nowadays for those purposes. As societies and cultures evolved so did the use for the walking cane or staff. Although, the basic purposes remained the same, the walking cane itself evolved into a symbol of power. If you go back in your mind's eye, you can recall the different images of kings and queens who had beautiful scepters and staffs. There are heiroglyphs in Egypt of people with staffs, and of course Hollywood has made the staffs used in their movies very beautiful and ornate. As time went by the basic uses for the walking cane still stayed the same. But the sticks themselves started to change again. In the 1700's they started getting more decorative and refined looking. People would use them as a status symbol. If you were going out, your outfit wasn't complete unless you had your decorative walking cane. Here in early America, the Puritans passed laws that didn't allow displays of wealth or extravagant dress, so the cane as an accessory died out. Nowadays, most people think of a walking cane as a medical device only. It shouldn't be that way. If you use one be proud of it.
