Decorative Antiques -
Reference: ZF1297
Officer's girdle sword, dress sabre or officer's sabre. Solingen, Germany, first quarter of the 19th century. Signed sheet. It has a garnish with decorative elements of a strong classical influence in relief and a pommel with a lion's head on a curve. Note the handles, with two bands with plant decorations. The front of the handle has scrolls, palms and plant elements framed by a figurative theme also classical (possibly a river allegory). The straight blade has the first third decorated with a blued finish and gold engravings (on the moustache you can clearly read "Solingen"), the second follows the recessed edge ending in a point, and the final part already shows the two edges that are common in these pieces.
