Magnificent 1800's Ottoman Empire riding whip. Its handle is 7.5" of silver covered in intricate niello designs with a balled top. It is in outstanding original condition. At some point, the whip was professionally restored. The leather wrist band and the 4" bottom keep were replaced, and the shaft was refinished in a tightly bound leather. Total length is 29". The result is a 150 year old piece of history that appears almost new. Please see my other listings.
