Stibbert museum, Florence.

Sylektis · 6th January 2016, 02:16 PM

Last year I have to remember a very nice trip to Florence.
Thus, I must share with you Stibbert museum.
I wish you a happy new year, and wonderful trips.

Thanks for sharing! Only a pity so many swords are hiding their blades inside the scabbards.

Sylektis · 6th January 2016, 02:57 PM

And the last ones.

Gavin Nugent · 6th January 2016, 03:12 PM

There are some breath taking swords there but the Bukhara Sabre, although not the most divine sword there, would suffice for me :-)

Thank you for taking the time to share.

How fabulous, even if weapons are not your thing.

Mercenary · 6th January 2016, 05:33 PM

Million thanks! Could you show this display too?

mrcjgscott · 6th January 2016, 06:18 PM

A wonderful "virtual" tour!

Many thanks indeed for taking the time to post these images.

Kind regards,

Chris

What fantastic pics and so nice to see things so well maintained...although all the sword IN their scabbards make me wonder about their upkeep.

Thanks so much for sharing these...there is no reference better then pictures!!

Thank you for posting.

Lucky for us that you, either ignored, or did not see the sign

asomotif · 6th January 2016, 11:32 PM

Ps. There are a lot of these items from the Stibbert presently exhibited in Rotterdam Wereldmuseum !!!

When I went, photographing permitted, without flash of course. (Αnd the museum staff was always with us, if you went there you can understand what I mean.)

And Mercenary, no photo, only zoom.

Post #6, the lowest panel: their famous yataghan resembling the Suleiman's examples.
I have seen it being mentioned in passing as Persian. But I doubt...

Outstanding! Thank you for sharing these.

Hi Sylektis,

I was there in 2013 and only took a few snapshots, under the impression that pictures where not allowed.
Next time I will surely make some more pictures :-)

Also the pace of the guided tour was sometimes too fast for me.
I could have wandered there for hours ;-)

Once more, thanks for sharing.

Sylektis · 8th January 2016, 01:31 AM

It seems that their policy has changed.
Also to Ufizzi you can now take pictures. It was a pleasant surprise for me, because all the guidebooks saying otherwise.

Tatyana Dianova · 8th January 2016, 08:15 AM

Great museum and good pictures - thank you for sharing!

The new Italian tourism minister changed the long standing rule last year, and most museums allow picture taking now, with exception of some private exhibitions.

Really fantastic photos!
The yataghan Ariel is refering is exhibited and described here. It has an inscription in Persian language. https://www.wereldmuseum.nl/assets/f...n_dichters.pdf

Here it is, made by a Persian perhaps but not a "Persian" yatagan/yataghan.

Thank you so much for taking the time to post these photos. Breathtaking!!

I visited the Wereldmuseum today to see if I could add anything to this wonderfull thread.

Here a small impression of the exhibition at Rotterdam.

Helleri · 11th January 2016, 07:36 AM

I think it is interesting that they paired the pata (plur. s?) with the rifles. I've never seen a pata as a wholly practical offensive weapon. But come to think of it. I don't think I can recall any such rifles as these having bayonets. Is it possible that the pata could be armed on the supporting hand for a rifle, and used to stabilize aim; Then if attacked between reloads, used in the same manner that a bayonet would be?
