AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Immerse yourself in medieval epic with this extraordinary duo of collectible swords, faithful and elegant replicas of the most celebrated weapons in Spanish history: Tizona and Colada, the iconic swords belonging to the legendary Reconquista hero, Rodrigo Díaz de Vivar, the "Cid Campeador".
In the famous epic poem Cantar de mio Cid, these two swords represented the supreme symbol of virtue, honor and military power:
- The Tizona: The most fearsome and majestic sword, whose mere glow – according to contemporary chronicles – was enough to make enemies tremble on the battlefield.
- The Colada: The weapon of lethal grace, won in a duel against the Count of Barcelona, symbol of supremacy and martial prowess.
Finely carved decorations and engravings on the metal, rich with floral, heraldic motifs and timeless period details.
Hilt and the Author's Pommel:
- Tizona: Impressive guard with pierced scrollwork featuring a honeycomb pattern and gilded/darkened heraldic details. Total length: about 103 cm
- Colada: Refined cross-shaped hilt worked in relief with Renaissance/medieval-inspired finishes. Total length: about 103 cm
Both blades are in stainless steel, finely decorated in the ricasso, ideal for display, scenography, reenactments or to enrich a living room, study or tavern with elegance.
Good aesthetic condition, perfect for furnishing or collecting (as shown in the photo).
Seller's Story
Welcome to our Catawiki store. Our journey in online sales began back in 2004, driven by a clear vision: creating online auctions dedicated to high-value objects.
Today, more than twenty years later, we carry forward that exact same vision. We are proud to have remained a small, family-run business, yet operating with the solidity and scale of major industry professionals: each year, we welcome more than 100 new clients, purchase over 150 lots, and select between 3,000 and 5,000 unique items to offer you.
Our commitment is reflected in everything we do, from the initial find to the final delivery to your doorstep:
• A Purchase with Social Value: Buying from us means securing a great deal while actively supporting the future of young Italian students. We collaborate closely with 3 graphic design and advertising schools in Milan, Bergamo, and Lecco.
We invest our time and expertise to teach these students the secrets of online sales, professional photography, and marketing. By choosing us, you are tangibly contributing to their education and career paths.
• Field Research and Discovery: For years, we have been personally scouting the most remote locations across Lombardy to find unique pieces, rarities, oddities, and mid-century modern design.
• We Invest Our Own Capital: We do not sell on consignment. We invest our own capital upfront to purchase and restore every single item, taking on all the risks ourselves.
• Direct Dealings with No Intermediaries: We manage every single price personally.
This allows us to eliminate third-party costs and ensure you get the best possible profit margin as a buyer or collector.
• Meticulous Restoration and Quality Control: We get our hands dirty. Every item is carefully restored and verified with an obsessive eye for detail before going up for auction.
• Secure and Eco-Friendly Shipping: To prevent inflated shipping costs and ensure indestructible packaging, my wife and I head out almost every evening, often at unusual hours, to collect heavy-duty industrial cardboard from businesses in our neighborhood.
We hand-select only pre-evaluated, ultra-resistant materials to offer you maximum protection at the lowest possible cost.
Choosing our lots means relying on the historic expertise of a family that has lived this passion since 2004, while investing in the next generation. Our schools and students thank you deeply for your trust.
Happy bidding!
