Lot 0384
French Romantic Revival Neo-Medieval Bronze Dagger, 19th Century
Estimate: 750-1000€French Romantic Revival Neo-Medieval Bronze Dagger, 19th Century
A finely cast and chased French Romantic Revival dagger or decorative poignard, dating to the 19th century.
The hilt is modelled as a standing neo-medieval soldier or knight, shown with his hands resting upon a sword. The scabbard is richly decorated in relief with historical and military motifs, including a mask, armour, a quiver, ribbons and scrolling ornament. The whole piece has a dark patinated bronze surface with gilt-bronze highlights, giving strong contrast to the raised decoration.
This type of object reflects the Romantic taste of the 19th century, when artists and collectors looked back to the Middle Ages as a source of heroic, chivalric and historical inspiration. Although made as a decorative object rather than a practical weapon, the dagger belongs to the wider 19th-century taste for historicist arms and militaria.
The quality of the casting and chasing is very fine and may be compared with the production of important French bronze foundries such as Barbedienne, though no maker’s mark is confirmed.
France, 19th century.
