A set of plates by Antoine Jacquard representing designs in blackwork for sword handles, dagger hilts and pommels, decorated with abstracted foliage, grotesques, chimeric figures and drolleries. Produced between about 1610 and 1630.
I found a small archive recently that details Sword Hilt Designs from the 16th century to the 19th century. So, I felt like sharing and doing a short thread about it 🧵
