Sword with motto of the Order of the Garter,... - Lot 173 - FW Auction
Sword with motto of the Order of the Garter, gilded bronze Taza mount. Spherical pommel decorated with gadroons, hilt with one main branch and straight quillons, fuse covered with a luxurious gilt copper filigree. Two-edged blade chiselled in the quarter with the motto "honi soit quy mal y pense". Late 18th century period. Because of its morphology and its motto, we can think that it belonged to an English diplomat attached to the Spanish court.
