Description
Heavy cavalry sabre bearing the imperial eagle. Hilt derived from the ‘garde de bataille’ style, in chiselled and gilded brass. The pommel features a skirt decorated with lines; from the joint arch extend four branches connecting the pommel to the crowned eagle and palmette, forming an enveloping guard. A small secondary branch connects to the crossguard. Wooden tang covered with filigree-patterned leather. A sturdy blade with two hollow edges, engraved, blued and gilded to one-third of its length, notably featuring a horseman wearing a chenille helmet. It is marked on the heel with ‘NARRANIED’ and ‘BARISONI’, recalling the French occupation of Italy. Leather scabbard with three fittings of chiselled and gilded brass. Total length: 115 cm. A later production, probably commissioned by the collector Romel (1870–1930).
