British/European 19th Century Rapier Sword

Excellent British or European 19th Century Rapier Sword

This 19th Century Rapier Sword is of very good quality and well made, with a large hilt comprising a large, faceted forward guard and downswept quillons. Blade of diamond-sectioned form. This type of sword was produced in the 19th Century and followed the Medieval Revival period that saw numbers of swords from the Medieval and Renaissance copied and made for display, particularly in large, baronial houses. The quality of these swords varies widely but this is a particularly fine example and still has good weight and balance.
