Hercule Poirot's Walking Stick

This walking stick, on display in our Agatha Christie gallery, was kindly presented to the Museum as a loan, by Poirot actor David Suchet in July 2013. This silver swan walking stick with a shaft of black hardwood was used by Suchet for over 20 years in his portrayal of Poirot in the ITV adaptations of the Belgian sleuth, the first episode being broadcasted in 1989.
