EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a pair of exquisite Flintlock pistols from Brescia, dating back to around 1670. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, these pistols are made of steel and feature a rich walnut stock that adds elegance to their overall design. The Italian School of the 17th century is credited for creating these masterpieces, which are now housed in the prestigious Cleveland Museum of Art in Ohio, USA. The ornate decoration on these firearms is truly remarkable. Every inch of the metalwork has been carefully chiseled and adorned with intricate patterns, making them not only functional weapons but also works of art. The flint lock mechanism adds an element of historical significance to these pistols, reminding us of their place in military history. An interesting detail worth noting is the inscription found on one barrel: P. Moretta. This small yet intriguing addition adds an air of mystery and personalization to the piece. Gifted by Mr. and Mrs. John L. Severance, this stunning display exemplifies the beauty and craftsmanship associated with Italian weaponry during this period. As we gaze upon this photograph print captured by Bridgeman Images, we can't help but appreciate the skillful combination of functionality and decorative elements that make these Flintlock pistols true treasures from a bygone era.
