This 18th-century Indian tulwar represents traditional Indo-Persian arms, styled with a slender single-edged curved steel blade and a solid silver hilt. The piece displays a distinct silver colour with grey steel tones, featuring a notable disc pommel, a quillon crossguard, and characteristic nicks along the cutting edge that indicate historical use. Measuring 8 cm high, 82 cm wide, and 6 cm deep, the sword has a practical scale for display. Placed in a modern home, this tulwar serves as a striking wall exhibition piece, perfectly suited for display above the mantel in a gentleman's library. The steel and silver combination provides a tactile contrast of metal finishes, while the overall profile emphasizes functional weaponry from the period.

FAQs

The tulwar is a traditional single-edged curved sword originating from the Indian subcontinent, widely used from the 16th through the 19th centuries by both cavalry and infantry across Mughal and Rajput territories.

These swords typically feature a hand-forged high-carbon or wootz steel blade fitted to an iron, brass, or silver-overlaid hilt with a distinctive disc pommel.

Authentic period examples demonstrate traditional resin-fitted hilts, hand-forged blade geometry, surface oxidisation, and ergonomic hilts shaped specifically for a tight palm grip.

Antique edged weapons are typically mounted on dark velvet display boards, set within custom wall brackets, or housed in glass display cabinets inside a study or library.

The steel blade should be kept lightly coated with mineral oil or microcrystalline wax to prevent oxidation, while silver hilts should be dusted with a soft cloth to protect the natural patina.
