Jean-Gabriel Domergue's French Academician Sword
By Odette Domergue
Located in New Orleans, LA
This important and unique sword was presented to the famed French painter Jean-Gabriel Domergue to commemorate the painter's election to the illustrious Académie des Beaux-Arts in 1950. One of the highest honors bestowed on a French artist, the ceremonial induction into the French Academy has been accompanied by the presentation of a sword since the age of Napoléon. Rather than a weapon, the sword became part of the Academician's uniform, and, over time, its design came to represent the interests and aspirations of its recipient. This example was designed entirely by Domergue's wife Odette, a great sculptor in her own right, and thus it represents both a highly personal gift and an important art historical relic.
The design of the sword is simply magnificent. Odette Domergue found her inspiration in antiquity, a theme that is also seen in the neoclassical sculptures that occupy the gardens of the couple's famous home, Villa Fiesole - also known as Villa Domergue - in Cannes. The impressive weapon boasts a solid gold handle that takes the form of a sinuous caryatid, who is nude save for a single swath of drapery. While the female figure recalls the sculpted supports prevalent in ancient Greek architecture, she also calls to mind the subjects for which Domergue was renowned - languorous, slightly risqué women with a seductive air.
Other decorative elements such as fauna, cypresses, and grotesque heads enhance the whimsy and imagination of the incredible neoclassical design. Furthermore, the scabbard that contains the finely etched blade is also an impeccable work of art. Crafted of black Moroccan leather in imitation of the snake skin, it displays intricately engraved foliage patterns with a lion's head and Domergue's coat of arms.
Though imagined by his wife, the sword was expertly chiseled by the celebrated goldsmith R. Delsinne and assembled by the atelier of the famed sculptor and medalist Raymond Delamarre...

Edo Period Samurai Suit Of Armor
Located in New Orleans, LA
This complete samurai okegawa dou gusoku suit of armor dating to the late 18th century is a remarkable rarity and remains in pristine condition. One of the most exceptional sets of Edo Period armor ever to grace the market, this armor would protect an esteemed warrior from head to toe.
This suit was made for a high-ranking official of the Kyogoku clan, a house of samurai in Japan. Though today the word samurai is often thought of interchangeably with warrior, it traditionally referred to a specific class of military nobility in Japan. From the late 12th century until the late 1860s when the Meiji era began, the samurai were the ruling military class, ranking directly beneath the emperor.
Esteemed Edo-period armorer Yamashiro Kuni Fujiwara Kanehisa created this extraordinary set for a noble samurai, incorporating elaborate details and opulent materials, appropriately highlighting the prestige of the armor’s owner. The set includes all of the traditional armor needed for a samurai warrior, including an elaborate helmet bearing the signature of the armorer.
