EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the intricate details of a Basket-Hilted Broadsword, showcasing the craftsmanship and artistry of the 18th century. The hilt, dating back to around 1720 in Scotland, features a unique design that not only serves as a decorative element but also provides protection for the wielder's hand during combat. Made from wood, copper wire, and fishskin (ray), the grip is both functional and visually striking.
The blade of this broadsword originates from Solingen, Germany - known for its high-quality steel production. With a liner of buff leather adding an extra layer of sophistication to the piece, every aspect of this weapon exudes elegance and strength.
Weighing 1.4 kg with an overall length of 101.60 cm, this Basket-Hilted Broadsword is a testament to European weaponry from the early 1700s. The inscription "CLEMENS WILLEMS ME FECIT SOLINGEN" further adds to its historical significance.
Displayed at the Cleveland Museum of Art in Ohio, USA, this artifact was generously gifted by Mr. and Mrs. John L. Severance - allowing viewers to appreciate its beauty up close.
From its origins in Scotland to its German-made blade, this broadsword tells a story of craftsmanship and tradition that continues to captivate audiences today through this exquisite print captured by Bridgeman Images from Fine Art Finder.
