Pair of Tall and Decorative Wood and Iron Halberds, Circa 1900

About the Item

Halberds are weapons often used in Europe during the Middle Ages; in modern times, ceremonial versions such as this pair are used by the Swiss Guard at the Vatican. Our tall and decorative halberds date to circa 1900 and were constructed with iron blades mounted to wooden handles. One of the blades is a partisan trident, with two curved tines that angle down, forming a hook. The other blade is closer to a poleaxe, with asymmetrical barbs flanking the rising tip. Purely decorative, our tall wood and iron halberds could be displayed over a mantle (crossed) or used as elements flanking a door.
