"Beautiful Arquebusier's Firesteel, Wrought Iron, 17th-18th Century"
A beautiful lyre lighter with two strikers, joined on a powerful axis framing a pivoting punch of turned iron. Beautiful utilitarian and indestructible object, perhaps military, as the arquebus shooters must have worn.
Its style fits well on page 30 of the utilities of the beautiful book: Firesteels, by Umberto Allemandi.
9.5cm x 3.5cm.
