English Court Sword, circa 1800/10.
Hilt in chased steel. Urn-shaped pommel, grip, and quillon worked with openwork diamond points and embellished with faceted steel marcasites. Guard joined to the side of the pommel by a beaded chain. Oval guard plate finely chased with openwork, also worked with openwork diamond points and embellished with faceted steel marcasites.
Triangular blade with three fullers, engraved with trophies and gilt floral decorations on a blued ground, on its first third. Good condition, the weapon has suffered very little from the ravages of time, beautiful patina. I note, however, a few missing marcasites, see photos.
- The court sword is a weapon belonging to a little-known category. At once a masculine jewel, a ceremonial weapon, a weapon of fencing, of dueling, of defense and even of an officer in a time when regulation weaponry was only a distant utopia.
