EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artifact from the 17th century, known as the "Pillow sword". Crafted with meticulous precision, this steel weapon is adorned with leather and wood accents, creating an exquisite piece of art. Measuring at an impressive 93x9.5 cm, it is currently housed in the prestigious Cleveland Museum of Art in Ohio, USA. Gifted by Mr. and Mrs. John L. Severance, this Italian masterpiece reflects the ingenuity and craftsmanship of its time. The intricate details on its handle, guard, handguard, blade, crossguard, grip, pommel and hilt demonstrate the skillful metalwork that went into its creation. The Pillow sword's unique design sets it apart from conventional swords of its era. Its name derives from the distinctive shape resembling a pillow or cushion at one end - a characteristic that adds to its allure and intrigue. As we gaze upon this photograph captured by Bridgeman Images for Fine Art Finder, we are transported back in time to an age where such weapons were not only tools of warfare but also symbols of status and power. This image allows us to appreciate both the artistic beauty and historical significance encapsulated within this extraordinary piece of militaria.
