Huge XVIIth Style Dagger

The particularity of this 17th century Spanish style dagger is its enormous size. It measures indeed 85 cms !
The manufacture is of course from the 19th century.
The gigantic size of this dagger evokes a prestigious gift, or perhaps the simple desire for the proud owner to own a unique object, outside of the common criteria.

MOUNT : Twisted cross bar, quillons in the shape of flower buds.
Guard triangle :Finely chiseled bronze
Pommel with floral motifs
