Apart from the aesthetic appearance and practical protection of patination, antique experts confirm that an object\'s value increases when its patination is intact because it is an important effect of the ageing process and this evidential history is reflected in the value of the piece.
FURTHER PATINA RE: ANTIQUES ,
Patina is everything that happens to an object over the course of time. The nick in the leg of a table, a scratch on a table top, the loss of moisture in the paint, the crackling of a finish or a glaze in ceramics, the gentle wear patterns on the edge of a plate. All these things add up to create a softer look, subtle color changes, a character. Patina is built from all the effects, natural and man-made, that create a true antique

Walking Sticks - Oscar Wilde \'wore\" one; so did the Marquis de Lafayeete and George Washington; George Bernard Shaw had several; Prince Albert was never without his; and Queen Victoria had an impressive collection.
We\'re talking about walking sticks, that fashion essential of royals, Edwardians and Victorians, symbols of authority in the 17th century, and today a very hot collectible.
Ancient man\'s first cane was a tree branch, used to stabilize himself while walking and climbing and also to defend himself. Since then, walking sticks have been used for both decoration and practicality almost continually throughout history. Through the ages, canes represented many different symbols of power, faith, and magic until their evolution into a fashion accessory in the 16th century. During the height of the 18th and 19th centuries, the style of canes was shaped by changing social and economic conditions. To study these talismans is to gain an insight into the cultures and societies that valued them.
The word \"cane\" comes from ancient times when the shafts of most canes were constructed of bamboo and other rattans of the cane family. Cane became the mostly widely used material to make walking sticks, evolving later into the generic name for the product.
