EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning detail from the Sabretache of Joseph-Napoleon Bonaparte, King of Spain. Crafted in the 19th century by Spanish artisans, this red morocco leather satchel is adorned with intricate embroidered goldwork and gilt-brass mounts. The centerpiece features the crowned monogram JN above a laurel wreath, symbolizing Joseph-Napoleon's regal status. The sabretache is accompanied by red Morocco leather suspension straps for both the satchel and an elegant sword, each embellished with cast and chased gilt-brass mounts. Although incomplete, an embroidered sword-belt further enhances this exquisite piece. With its rich history, this artifact holds immense significance. A handwritten note on the reverse reveals that it was taken from Joseph Napoleon's carriage after the Battle of Vittoria on June 21st, 1813. Colonel William Ponsonby of the 5th Dragoon Guards claimed ownership at that time while stating that the remaining parts of the set are housed at Windsor. Expertly framed in modern glazing to preserve its beauty, this remarkable item offers a glimpse into Napoleonic military style and royal splendor. Its association with Joseph-Napoleon Bonaparte adds another layer of intrigue to its allure. Through this print captured by eChristies Images and made available through Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, viewers can appreciate not only its artistic craftsmanship but also delve into historical narratives surrounding kingship, cavalry forces, and war during that era.
