Escopeta de perneira de Luís XIII, rei da França

Gunsmith Pierre Le Bourgeois French
Gunsmith Marin Le Bourgeois French
ca. 1620
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 375
Esta é uma das mais antigas escopetas de chispa, um mecanismo de ignição que dominaria a tecnologia de armas de fogo durante os próximos 200 anos. Ela foi feita para Louis XIII por Pierre e Marin Le Bourgeois de Lisieux, a quem muitas vezes atribuem a invenção da perneira. A escopeta ostenta o monograma do rei sob uma coroa e sua rica ornamentação está formada por incrustações delicadas de arame e madrepérola, um estoque de madeira finamente esculpido e peças metálicas de latão dourado. Luís XIII foi um ávido colecionador de armas de fogo e armeiro amador. Esta escopeta é gravada com o número do inventário 134, indicando que fazia parte da coleção real ou cabinet d’armes.
