Lot 6371 | Kampfbidenhänder mit geätzter Klinge, Reichsfürstentum Savoyen, um 1559
Kampfbidenhänder mit geätzter Klinge, Reichsfürstentum Savoyen, um 1559
Zweischneidige Klinge mit linsenförmigem Querschnitt und kurzer Schlagspitze. In der oberen Hälfte beidseitig reiche Zierätzung mit Darstellung des Kreuzes von Savoyen über heraldischem Adler, darüber eine Krone. Auf der Gegenseite das französische Lilienwappen mit Krone, darunter ein Doppelkopfadler. Fehlschärfe mit originaler Belederung, seitlich zwei leicht zur Klinge geneigte Parierdorne mit geätztem Rankendekor. Flache, leicht zur Klinge geneigte Parierstange mit punziertem Dekor, beidseitig kräftige Parierringe. Originale Hilze mit schwarzem Lederbezug und Resten von Aufputz. An der unteren Häfte seitlich zwei spätere eiserne Verstärkungsspangen. Leicht konischer, achtkantiger Knauf mit punziertem Dekor. Länge 157 cm.
Die Verwendung des Wappens von Savoyen zusammen mit dem Wappen von Frankreich legt nahe, dass diese Waffe in einer engen Verbindung zum 1559 geschlossenen Frieden von Cateau-Cambrésis und der Vermählung Emanuel Philiberts von Savoyen mit Prinzessin Margarethe von Frankreich steht.
A two-hand sword with etched blade, Duchy of Savoy, circa 1559
A two-hand sword with etched blade, Duchy of Savoy, circa 1559
The double-edged blade of lenticular cross-section, with a short point. Lavishly decorated on both sides of the upper half with etchings of the Savoy cross above a heraldic eagle, surmounted by a crown. The French fleur-de-lys coat of arms with a crown on the opposite side, below which a double-headed eagle. Original, leather-covered ricasso. Two guard thorns etched with decorative tendrils on the side, angled slightly toward the blade. The flat quillons with stippled ornamentation angled slightly toward the blade. Sturdy guard rings on both sides. Original grip with black leather cover and remnants of the lanyard. Two iron reinforcement bars of later date on the side of the lower half. Slightly conical, octagonal pommel with punched décor. Length 157 cm.
The use of the Savoy coat of arms together with the coat of arms of France suggests that this weapon had a close association with the Treaty of Cateau-Cambrésis, which was signed in 1559, and the marriage of Emanuel Philibert of Savoy with Princess Margarethe of France.
