Silver & Ebony Conductor Baton, Arvi Kallio, Lahti Finland c. 1913

A beautiful art deco conductor’s baton in black ebony and silver mountings by Finnish silversmith Arvi Kallio from 1913 made in his workshop in the city of Lahti. The baton features silver mounting on both ends, a middle one and a spiral with inscribed text as it was given as a gift in 1913. The ebony has most probably shell inlays. See photos. A beautiful piece with an authenticated history with full silver, makers, dates and city hallmarks. Suitable as a gift for, well, conductors and maestros or any music lover. Even a Harry Potter fan would be thrilled with such a magic wand.
