Description
-
These weapons were used for hunting, thus large numbers have survived in good condition which allows for accurate dating and typology. Here the stock is carved with a variety of details that were also used on 16th century Italian furniture. This highlights a great example of what has become know to collectors as Venetian patina.
A comparable example is from the Wallace Collection (A.1046) and is best shown in Edged Weapons, Wilkinson, Fig.115
Overall length: 42 1/2".
