Item Details
Description
19th century Mughal Talwar style handle in the form of a gilt bronze ram's head, ornately decorated with floral filigree. A diminutive tiger reaches forward from the hilt, resting its paws and licking the muzzle of the ram. Both the ram and the tiger's eyes are fitted with brilliant red stones. A contemporary steel blade from W. Shoemacker of Eau Claire, Wisconsin is attached to the blade. With a later leather scabbard, marked along the metal fittings.

Provenance: From the Estate of Horst Rechelbacher, Osceola, Wisconsin.

Horst Rechelbacher, the founder of Aveda and Intelligent Nutrients, was a pioneer in the field of safe and eco-friendly cosmetics. The same curiosity that led him to explore ways to improve the beauty industry led him to travel the world, collecting rare and beautiful objects as he went. This sale features selections from that lifetime of eclectic and inspired collecting, including furniture by Carlo Bugatti, Gabriel Viardot, and Josef Hoffman; artworks by artists ranging from Old Masters to Salvador Dali to Arman; an impressive collection of Indian sculptures; and much more. Be sure to explore our timed-only online auction of other fascinating objects from this collection that will be posted in mid-August.

Blade length: 14 in. Overall length: 21 1/4 in.
