Measuring at a remarkable 26cm in length, this stunning piece is now part of a private collection. The intricate details and ornate design of this late seventeenth-century firearm are truly awe-inspiring. The craftsmanship displayed in every curve and embellishment speaks volumes about the mastery of metalwork during that era. Against a striking blue background, this studio shot highlights the beauty and artistry behind this weapon. Its trigger ready to be pulled, it stands as a testament to both its functionality as well as its decorative value. As we gaze upon this collector's item, we can't help but imagine the stories it holds within its cold steel frame. A relic from another time, it transports us back to the 17th century when gunmakers like Jan Cloeter were revered for their skillful creations.
