About the Item
19th-Century Hand-Coloured Lithograph of Ornate Medieval and Renaissance Swords
Description: This elegant hand-coloured lithograph features four distinctive swords, showcasing the craftsmanship and artistry of bladed weapons from the medieval and Renaissance periods. The print originates from the celebrated 1842 publication *Der Rittersaal: Eine Geschichte des Ritterthums* by Friedrich Martin von Reibisch and Dr. Franz Kottenkamp, which explored the history, arms, and customs of European chivalry.
The swords are illustrated with great precision, highlighting both functional design and ornamental details:
1. The first sword features a distinctive undulating **flame-shaped blade**, a style known as a flambard or flamboyant sword, designed to intimidate opponents and enhance cutting effectiveness.
2. The second sword also showcases a flame blade with an intricate hilt featuring interlocking rings, a characteristic of ceremonial or dueling swords.
3. The third and fourth swords are more traditional in design, with long, straight blades and lavishly decorated hilts in **gilded gold**, indicative of their use by noble or high-ranking individuals. The detailed pommels and guards reflect the aesthetic refinement of weapons from this period.
The lithograph's hand-colouring emphasizes the subtle blue-grey of the blades and the rich golden tones of the ornate hilts, creating a striking visual contrast.
Condition: This lithograph is in very good condition, with clean margins, sharp lines, and beautifully preserved colours. Minor age-toning and light foxing are present but do not detract from the artwork's appeal.
Ideal for collectors of historical weaponry, medieval art, or fine lithographic prints, this piece is a superb example of 19th-century craftsmanship and historical illustration. It serves as both an educational and decorative addition to any study, library, or curated collection.
