Belle hallebarde de parement à double lanterne,... - Lot 237 - Pierre Bergé & Associés
Belle hallebarde de parement à double lanterne, Pays-Bas vers 1590-1600. A Fine Netherlandish parade halberd, circa 1590-1600. With hollow-ground central spike changing to diamond section at the point, rectangular neck originally carrying a pair of transverse lugs (missing), the neck enclosed at both ends by a pair of openwork collars each formed as a series of raised bands chiselled with human masks in low relief, faceted tubular socket extending to form a pair of iron straps, the neck and the socket each engraved with leaf ornament, large slender crescentic axe-blade pierced and chiselled with a pair of scrolling marine monsters supported by further monsters at both sides, the rear fluke pierced and chiselled en suite and drawn-out to a small claw-like reinforced point, and on its original octagonal wooden haft studded with domed brass nails over much of its length, bearing an armoury stamp below one strap and fitted with later iron shoe and a decorative tassel. H. head: 61 cm - H. overall: 229 cm. The catalogue entry for the first of two very similar halberds included as Nos. 497 and 499 in the 1931 Loan Exhibition of European Arms and Armor at The Metropolitan Museum of Art states that a number of similar examples came from Archduke Eugen (of Austria-Teschen). The halberd referred to above (No.499) is nearly identical to the present example and most probably from the same workshop; it is preserved in the von Kienbusch Collection in The Philadelphia Museum of Art (No. 551 in the 1963 catalogue of the collection). The von Kienbusch halberd was from the collection of the Counts von Erbach-Erbach.
