http://www.canesegas.com/incroyables/1.2_dance.master.cane.htm

This new room is dedicated to the usage of the Case Cane also called Dance master Cane. This cane, well-known since the Seventeenth Century will become more famous in the Eighteen Century, from the revolutionary times on. So, this new theme takes to the renewal of the Canes and sticks in the French revolution.

"Canes and sticks in the French revolution". Ten years that mattered for the democratic renewal of the Cane, from 1788 to 1799. This new room has just been launched at the Web site of the Segas Gallery, that specializes in antique and rare canes, gadget canes or cane curiosa.

The Cycle of Virtual Exhibitions initiated by Gilbert Segas, a history lover, is dedicated to the history of Canes and Walking sticks, at the cross road of art, collectibles and history. Apart from the present exhibition and the new room that tells us the history of the Dance master, Gilbert Segas has offered us an exhibition on Glass Canes and Conscription Canes, another focused on Popular art and Canes sculpted of wood, and more recently "Cane and eroticism".

The online exhibition tell us the adventure of the Case-cane also called "kit violin", and its small violin, then takes us on the road of the Cane in the storm of the French revolution and the troubled revolutionary times, with the Muscadins and the Jacobins. The exhibition tells us about the unique fashion and the eccentricity of the Incroyables and the Merveilleuses, the Parisian theaters and the bright parties under the period of the French Directory.
