Small Sword, c.1750-1760. The hilt, pommel, and guard of this sword are richly chiseled in low relief against a stippled gold background with animals (dogs, a stag, ducks) that appear to be adapted from paintings by Jean-Baptiste Oudry (1686-1775). An elegant court sword such as this was an important accessory to a gentleman's attire, yet remained functional?it could be withdrawn for an impromptu duel.
