I'm no expert , but my opinion is that these are decorative pieces from the Orientalist period .

I don't want to dissapoint you, but I must agree with Rick. It looks very 19th century to me - even late. I'm no expert, but the helmet and inlay on the blade of the sword are made very carelessly in my opinion. The naive display of animals somehow doesn't look like great job of masters working in earlier centurier. The sword with the hanging looks tourist piece to me - why, because we've got similiar Dao sword in museum with German mark on it

- the hanging is identical.

Best regards!
