EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite craftsmanship of a Schiavona Broadsword, originating from 18th century Venice. Made with steel, brass, leather, and wood, this weapon is a true testament to the artistry and skill of Italian craftsmen during that era. The overall length of the sword measures at 100.30 cm and weighs approximately 1.28 kg. The blade itself spans an impressive length of 84.40 cm, while the grip measures at 10.50 cm and the guard at 14.80 cm in width. Currently housed in the Cleveland Museum of Art in Ohio, USA, this particular piece was generously gifted by Mr. and Mrs. John L Severance. Every detail on this broadsword speaks volumes about its ornate design - from its intricate hilt to its finely crafted blade - making it a symbol of both beauty and functionality as a deadly weapon. Venetian in origin, this sword represents not only Italy's rich history but also European heritage as a whole within the context of militaria weaponry during the 18th century. Bridgeman Images has expertly captured this remarkable artifact through their lens for all to appreciate its historical significance without commercial use intentions or affiliations mentioned here.
