16th century AD. A rapier with tapered blade of flattened hexagonal section, fullers on both sides of the forte inscribed with 'NIO FIO', facing crescents and circle with cross on the blade, pronounced ricasso; elaborate, swept hilt with thumb ring and three guard bars, the quillon finials with embossed knobs, new leather grip and slightly oval pommel. Cf. Foulkes, C., Inventory and survey of the Armouries of the Tower of London, 2 volumes, London, 1916; Dufty, A.R., European swords and daggers in the Tower of London, London, 1974, pl.21, especially letter D. 1.25 kg, 1.05m (41 1/4"). From the late Alison Barker collection, a retired London barrister; from her collection formed early 1960s-1990s. From the early 16th century onward, the practice of wearing a sword or rapier with civilian dress, made duels between unarmoured opponents more common. Lacking the armour, shield or hand protections worn in battle, the fighters had to block or parry an attack by other means. Methods of defence included the use of a dagger or a buckler held in the left hand. Fundamental characteristics of the spada da lato, compared to the normal one-handed sword and the sword, are the long and pointed but still massive blade, sharpened on both sides, with a short ricasso protected above by a metal ring; and the hilt with one or two-handed sleeves, normally in relation to the length of the blade and therefore to the total weight of the weapon, cross-shaped guard with large, straight or folded arms, loaded with branches, bridges and rings, articulating on the ricasso, to ensure greater protection of the hand. The maker's mark shows analogies with a rapier in the Tower of London Armoury (Foulkes, 1916, no.107 p.274"). Fine condition.
Lot 416
Spain, early 16th century AD. A carved wooden head from a sculpture depicting a mature male with full beard and brushed moustache, with shoulder-length hair and a neat tiered turban; the lips slightly parted and the eyes modelled closed with eyelash detailing extending below the rim; the surface gesso-covered to accept the paint; mounted on a custom-made stand. The topic of the Resurrection was one of the more powerful images used to promote the Christian message during the Middle Ages. It usually takes the form of a triumphant Christ stepping out of the tomb in which he had been placed after the Crucifixion while a number of Roman soldiers slumber peacefully around it. The present sculpture probably represents one of the sleeping soldiers from such a scene, imagined by a Spanish artist of the Renaissance who furnished his figure with a contemporary form of dress. 342 grams total, 22.5cm including stand (9"). Spanish private collection. Ex central London gallery. [No Reserve] Fine condition.
