Information
Persia
length 62.5 cm.
Wide blade, slightly ribbed at the centre, richly decorated with floral and geometric motifs over the entire length, featuring two long inscriptions in Arabic at the base, on one side. Wooden scabbard with few remains of covering, iron mounts decorated en suite. The blade hardly fits into the scabbard. This lot is imported from a non-EU country and incurs additional taxes beyond the auction house commission and the V.A.T. Consequently, the total Buyer’s Premium, inclusive of all taxes, amounts to 35%.
