EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of weaponry from the 17th century. The rapier, originating from Solingen, Germany around 1600, is an exquisite example of craftsmanship and artistry. Made from russeted and gilded steel with inlaid silver accents, this rapier exudes elegance and sophistication. The pommel and quillons termini are intricately chiseled in the form of warrior heads, adding a touch of fierce beauty to the overall design. With its impressive dimensions - standing at 125.40 cm tall and weighing approximately 96 kg - this rapier commands attention. Housed at the Cleveland Museum of Art in Ohio, USA, this historical artifact is part of their esteemed collection. Generously gifted by Mr. and Mrs. John L. Severance, it serves as a testament to their appreciation for fine art.
