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).
