Belle dague « à oreilles » de style espagnol... - Lot 178 - Pierre Bergé & Associés
Belle dague « à oreilles » de style espagnol du début XVIe siècle, XIXe siècle. A Spanish "ear" dagger finely constructed in early 16th century style, 19th century. With sharply tapering blade single-edged over its upper half, the back-edge strongly bevelled on the outer side as a short and slightly elevated section above the ricasso, and both sides lightly etched and gilt with panels of scrolling flowers over the lower half, iron hilt cut with small designs of very fine fluting, with spool-like base involving ivory side panels retained by small silver brackets, the blade tang covered with strips of gilt-brass cast with a vertical pattern of Classical foliage in low relief, fitted with a pair of iron fillets over the sides, each drawn-up to a spoon-like disc with gilt fluted inner face, the outer face filled with an ivory disc retained by a fluted conical silver cap, fitted with carved moulded ivory grip-scales retained by minute silver nails, the ivory parts green-stained throughout, and in "aged" condition. L.: 41 cm. An "ear" dagger preserved in the Deutsche Klingenmuseum Solingen (Inv.: 60.98) is very similar and appears to come from the same workshop. See, UHLEMANN, Heinz R., Kosbare Blankwaffen aus dem Deutschen Klingenmuseum Solingen, 1968, p.39.
