Default A recycled smallsword shell-guard ?

Hi everyone !

I wanted to share this with you, as I'm pretty sure an old piece of furniture at my new workplace has two halves of a smallsword shell-guard recycled as keyhole plates.


I'm thinking French (maybe English ?), around 1780, what do you think ? Any similar example you know of ?

Anyway, I thought it was a pretty funny and clever reuse of weapon parts (the piece of furniture itself is most likely from the XIXth century).
