France, First Empire (1804-1814). Rare sword of Staff Officer and member of the Institute of Egypt. Gilt bronze mounting, pommel with empanelled helmet seen from the front, jointed arch decorated with floral motifs and ending on the cruise by a small dolphin. Mother-of-pearl plate spindle bearing on one side the portrait of an Egyptian queen in gilt bronze, symbol of the Egyptian Institute. Asymmetrical keyboard with a large volute released on the right, the central motif decorated with a breastplate flanked by a beam of lictor, trophy of arms and winged dragon. Tie in scarlet woolen cloth present. Straight three-edged blade, with stained gray patina and traces of bluing and gold in the third, engraved with trophy arms and floral motifs, without signature. Black waxed leather scabbard with two gilded brass fittings, to the model, the cap with button in shield. Complete. Not current. 93 cm (blade 80 cm). (good condition). Note: very particular sword, the mounting corresponds to a Staff Officer's sword and the decoration of the fuse corresponds to the regulation of the swords of member of the Institute of Egypt; certainly a fancy of Officer having made the Campaign of Egypt (1798-1801).
