(12 mm). Gunsmith: Signed by Alfred Gauvain (French, Paris 1801-1889 Paris). Date: dated 1851. Made by the Parisian gunsmith Alfred Gauvain (1801-1889) for display at the Great Exhibition of the Industry of All Nations in London in 1851, these pistols are masterpieces of iron chiseling in the Renaissance Revival style that was popular in mid-nineteenth-century design. Designed by the sculptor and ornemanist Michel Liénard (1810-1870), they were praised at the time as works of modern art that rivaled in beauty of execution many older firearms preserved in national museums. The inspiration for the lizards, snakes, and frogs amid vine branches was perhaps provided by Renaissance goldsmith's works (silver by Wenzel Jamnitzer of Nuremberg) and ceramics (French Palissy ware). Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.
