French Gilded Sword
French Sword
Circa 1810
As much a work of art as a weapon, this exceptional French sword captures the imagination of the Romantic era. Its gilded grip is cast in the round as a Native American warrior holding a dagger and flintlock musket, an imaginative design that reflects Franceâs fascination with the New World. Elegant in form and rich in symbolism, it represents the height of craftsmanship in the early 19th century.
The straight, double-edged blade is finely constructed with a central riser and double groove, its strength balanced by a refined profile. The hilt is embellished with round quillons terminating in small disks and a shell guard engraved with feather patterns. The leather-covered wooden scabbard is fitted with gilded mounts, including a chape adorned with a Native American trophy of arms and a cap surmounted by a fierce lynxâs head. To the French imagination, Native Americans embodied courage, freedom and an uncorrupted harmony with nature.
31" length x 4 3/4" width
