Specialist note

Frédeéric Boucheron established his now legendary firm in Paris in 1858. Boucheron was known for its creative use of mixing precious and more ordinary materials as seen in this Art Nouveau cane. Edmund-Henri Becker whose signature appears on the base, was recorded working at Boucheron's premises.
