This stunning piece has been in my personal collection for a while now, I just loved the lines and the delicate danger presented by the hollow ground triform dagger that someone went to the effort to decorate with exquisite blue and gilt.
The cane probable dating to around the year 1800 towards the end of the the smallswords existence.
There is no maker's mark but i suspect from the blueing and engraving, the use of turtle shell and silver inlay as well as the designs this piece is French.
This piece can be yours for £450 or best offer.
