A dazzling tour of Château de Haroué, the epitome of opulent French style and one of today’s must-see examples of vibrant eighteenth-century architecture and design.
Located in a remote village in the Lorraine region of northeastern France, the estate of Château de Haroué is an unrivaled treasure of Gallic culture and heritage. Built between 1720 and 1729 for Marc de Beauvau, Prince de Beauvau-Craon, constable of Lorraine and viceroy of Tuscany, his descendents have inhabited the castle and kept it going in high style ever since.
Throughout the pages of this volume, readers are invited to discover the château’s impressive architecture and fashionably chic interior design. Newly commissioned photographs by leading interiors photographer Miguel Flores-Vianna alongside archival documents offer unprecedented access to 82 sumptuous rooms, which are enlivened by dynamic tapestries and family portraits, a breathtaking artwork collection, and stately antique furniture. Informative texts by Victoria Botana de Beauvau, one of France’s preeminent modern-day aristocrats and an It girl in Parisian society, paint a picture of the castle’s architectural splendors, lifestyle, notable events, and her family’s unique approach to keeping history alive—all published in an exquisitely crafted book, with creative direction by Peter Copping, worthy of this stunning property.

Early 19th Century French Gilt Bronze and Mother of Pearl Ceremonial Sword
Located in Fayetteville, AR
This early nineteenth century ceremonial dress sword features a gilt bronze guard with the profile of Louis XVIII flanked by fleur de lys. Presumably owned by a Frenchman sympathetic to the monarchy after the fall of Napoleon Bonaparte, the hilt additionally features lions, stars, and palmettes. The grip is faced with mother of pearl. In the early 19th century, swords like these were only ever worn by noblemen or gentlemen, and typically for stately events or High Society functions. Typical of a ceremonial small sword worn by gentlemen of the period, the blade, which measures 31 inches in length, takes on a triangular shape if looked at from above. This shape denotes its practical function if ever used, as a dueling sword...

The word "rapier" generally refers to a relatively long-bladed sword characterized by a protective hilt which is constructed to provide protection for the hand wielding the sword. Some historical rapier samples also feature a broad blade mounted on a typical rapier hilt. The term rapier can be confusing because this hybrid weapon can be categorized as a type of broadsword. While the rapier blade might be broad enough to cut to some degree (but nowhere near that of the wider swords in use around the Middle Ages such as the longsword), it is designed to perform quick and nimble thrusting attacks. The blade might be sharpened along its entire length or sharpened only from the center to the tip.
The term rapier generally refers to a thrusting sword with a blade longer and thinner than that of the side sword but much heavier than the small sword, a lighter weapon that would follow in the 18th century and later,but the exact form of the blade and hilt often depends on who is writing and when. It can refer to earlier Spada da lato and the similar espada ropera, through the high rapier period of the 17th century through the small sword and duelling swords...
