This decorative shadowbox features a non-firing replica of a 19th-century percussion cap dueling pistol, elegantly mounted against a background of scripted calligraphy. The pistol is crafted with a polished wood stock, ornate cast-metal fittings including a filigree pommel and barrel band, and a darkened faux-steel barrel. It is presented in a deep-set shadowbox frame with a textured gray mat and a wide, gilded wood frame featuring classical scrollwork detailing. The item is in excellent vintage condition, with the pistol appearing well-preserved and the frame showing only minor age-related wear to the gilding, maintaining its structural integrity and ornamental appeal. Dimensions: 86.5cm (l) x 47cm (h)
