SHORT FLINTLOCK CARBINE WITH SILVER AND MOTHER OF PEARL INLAY
Ca. 1820s ADA very unusual smoothbore flintlock gun from the early 19th century. This highly decorated weapon features silver and pearl inlay in a swirling plant and leaf-shaped pattern on the firing mechanism, lockplate, barrel, and stock. The level of exquisite decoration suggests that the original owner was a member of the social elite and that it was probably intended to be primarily a hunting weapon. Due to the gun’s small size it may have originally belonged to a woman or even a child.Size: 660mm x 100mm; Weight: 1.9kgProvenance: From the private collection of an Essex gentleman; previously in an old British Collection, formed in the 1990s. This item has been cleared against the Art Loss Register database and comes with a confirmation letter.
