Gentleman's sticks
are also becoming more exuberant, and height-adjustable folding sticks
now account for a large proportion of all new sticks sold.
As an essential element of British style,
walking sticks of all types are popular wherever their looks and
practicality are appreciated. Walking sticks are a favourite subject
for collectors, or ambulists. Famous ambulists have included
George VI, Queen Victoria, President Washington, Napoleon, Peter
the Great and King Tutankhamun. Another keen ambulist, Louis XIV
of France, forbade all his subjects bar the aristocracy to use walking
sticks because he regarded them as a symbol of power. Novelty canes,
such as tippling sticks and sticks with animal head designs are very
popular with collectors and as presents.
