Design for a Rapier Hilt and Scabbard Chape 1555 Pierre Woeiriot de Bouzey II This print of an elaborately decorated rapier hilt is a fine impression from a rare series of plates by Pierre Woeiriot, a goldsmith and prolific engraver. It is also an excellent example of the design and ornamentation of luxury arms in mid-sixteenth century France. The use of human figures, grotesques and strapwork shows the influence of French mannerism and the Fontainebleau style, which was developed by court artists under the patronage of King Francis I. For two other engravings from this same series in the Museum's collection see 49.20.11 and 49.20.12.. Design for a Rapier Hilt and Scabbard Chape. Pierre Woeiriot de Bouzey II (French, Neufchteau 1532-1599 Damblain). French. 1555. Etching, engraving. Works on Paper-Engravings
