The Sabretache of Joseph-Napoleon Bonaparte, King of Spain
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print showcases the exquisite sabretache belonging to Joseph-Napoleon Bonaparte, the former King of Spain. Crafted in the 19th century by Spanish artisans, this remarkable piece is a testament to both artistic skill and historical significance. Made from vibrant red Morocco leather, adorned with intricate embroidered goldwork ornamentation, and embellished with gilt-brass mounts, this sabretache exudes regal splendor. The crowned monogram "JN" rests proudly above a laurel wreath, symbolizing victory and honor. Its red Morocco leather suspension straps for the sabretache and accompanying sword are meticulously crafted with further goldwork ornamentation. Encased within a modern glazed frame, this precious artifact holds an intriguing story. A handwritten note on its 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 sword-belt were held at Windsor. This photograph captures not only an extraordinary work of art but also a tangible connection to one of history's most significant figures. It serves as a reminder of Joseph-Napoleon Bonaparte's reign as King of Spain during turbulent Napoleonic times and his enduring impact on military strategy and European politics.
