Welcome to my Antique Canes Website.

Antique Canes have long been a passion of mine and I offer a large selection dating from 1650 to 1950. These are not perambulatory aids, but items of fashion, individuality, power, status and profession.

A cane was designed to be worn rather than used. It showed who you were and how you viewed yourself. Whether you sported a jewelled Fabergé cane or one of whalebone fashioned by a sailor on a long sea voyage, your cane made a powerful statement. Consequently, these items are intensely personal. Each cane is redolent with the history of bygone individuals and their times.

Regency rakes would brandish sword canes, farmers loved to carve scenes of rural life on a branch and young Victorian gentlemen would cut a veritable dash at the opera with their silver top canes

A remarkable level of skill and artistry was employed to enable people at all levels of society to make a statement. This makes "ambulism", or cane and walking stick collecting, one of the most fascinating fields in antiques.

I am Geoffrey Breeze. I opened my first antique shop in South London in 1972. For the past thirty years I have supplied the public and the trade from my shops in Chelsea, Chiswick and most recently Bath. I was Chair of the Bath and Bradford on Avon Antique Dealers Association for four years and I am a member of the British Antique Dealers Association.

I sell mainly from antique fairs and shows.
