Belle pertuisane gravée et dorée, Italie... - Lot 236 - Pierre Bergé & Associés
Belle pertuisane gravée et dorée, Italie ou France vers 1630- 1660. A fine engraved and gilt partisan, Italian or French, circa 1630-60. With broad blade tapering to a short spear point, formed with a pronounced medial ridge over its length on both sides, the base with small projections at the sides and with a pair of short lugs with bouched upper edges, ribbed tubular socket moulded at both ends and fixed to the haft by short straps and a threaded transverse bolt, the latter retaining one horn-shaped prong chiselled and engraved with acanthus leaves (the opposite prong missing), the blade engraved on both sides at the base with an asymmetrical design of scrolling foliage and flowers, involving arrangements of fruit and the monogrammed letters "YSL", the engraved designs gilt against a contrasting punched ground and all within a shaped cartouche, the socket punched with flowerheads and retaining some gilding, and on its original octagonal wooden haft, retaining the original green fabric covering profusely studded with domed brass nails, and with the original decorated tassel, and the original iron shoe. H. head: 73.5 cm - H. overall: 252 cm. The engraving compares with that seen on Italian and French armour of the period. The YSL monogram is presumably that of a nobleman, unidentified, his monogram worn as a badge by his armed retinue.
