Body Style: Walled Octagon

Biography

An early octagonal body style produced by Jacob Furnival, it is rarely found with copper lustre banding. The basic Gothic lines are interrupted by the wide vertical panels at the lower section of the body. The only embossing is found at the handle terminals where elaborate foilage relieves the plain lines of the style.
