介绍（中）	这把剑在 19 世纪欧洲为东方主义主题、雕塑品质和精致剑柄的彩色装饰而制造的众多展示剑中占有特殊的地位。它的原始设计在当时在法国及其他地区引起的关注也是潜在的独特之处。剑柄由雕塑家阿纳托尔·马凯·德·瓦塞洛特（Anatole Marquet de Vasselot，1840-1904 年）设计，用于日报《La Patrie》希望授予法国军官让-巴蒂斯特·马尔尚（Jean-Baptiste Marchand，1863-1934 年）的一把剑。这把剑旨在纪念马尔尚作为一支被称为刚果-尼罗河使命的小型远征军的领导者在非洲表现出的精神、克制和能力。委托一把荣誉之剑的倡议，以及代表读者展示它的前景，支持了拉帕特里为法兰西民族代言的提议，并给予了政府似乎不愿意考虑的正式承认。正在考虑的剑是已知制造的三个例子中保存最完好的。艺术铸造厂Siot-Decauville似乎被委托铸造每把剑的剑柄和相关的剑鞘支架。珠宝商和金匠 Alphonse Auger（1834-1904 年）对这些元素进行了追逐、镀金和珐琅装饰，并在指关节护罩上雕刻凸圆形宝石。这些刀片是库洛在克林根塔尔或夏泰勒劳特武器制造厂制造的标准步兵军官的例子。剑柄的设计表明，马凯·德·瓦塞洛特（Marquet de Vasselot）仔细研究了古埃及的宗教艺术。金匠和珠宝商阿尔方斯·奥格（Alphonse Auger）显然与他的古董兴趣相同。与 René Lalique（勒内·拉利克）一起，他是新艺术风格工作的法国珠宝商之一，众所周知，他们欣赏古埃及珠宝并从中汲取灵感。由于马奎特·德·瓦塞洛特和奥热在五年前曾合作为阿尔弗雷德-阿梅德·多兹将军（1842-1922）制作一把演示剑，当他们为马尔尚制作演示剑时，成功合作的条件可能已经到位。
介绍（英）	This sword occupies as special place among the many presentation swords made in nineteenth-century Europe for the Orientalist theme, sculptural qualities, and polychrome ornamentation of its elaborate hilt. It is also potentially unique for the attention that its original design aroused at the time in France and beyond. The hilt was designed by the sculptor Anatole Marquet de Vasselot (1840–1904) for a sword that the daily newspaper La Patrie wished to award to the French military officer Jean-Baptiste Marchand (1863–1934). The sword was intended to honor the spirit, abnegation, and competence that Marchand had shown in Africa as the leader of a small expeditionary force known as the Congo-Nile Mission. The initiative of commissioning a sword of honor, and the prospect of presenting it on behalf of its readers supported La Patrie’s bid to speak for the French nation, and bestow a formal recognition that the government seemed unwilling to consider. The sword under consideration is the best-preserved of the three examples known to have been made. The art foundry Siot-Decauville appears to have been entrusted with the casting of the hilt of each sword and the related scabbard mounts. The jeweler and goldsmith Alphonse Auger (1834–1904) carried out the chased, gilt, and enameled ornamentation of those elements as well as the carving of the cabochons on their knuckle guards. The blades were standard infantry officer examples made by Coulaux at Klingenthal or the Manufacture d’Armes of Chatelleraut. The design of the hilt shows that Marquet de Vasselot had closely examined ancient Egyptian religious art. The goldsmith and jeweler Alphonse Auger apparently shared his antiquarian interests. With René Lalique, he is among the French jewelers working in the Art Nouveau style that are known to have appreciated and drawn inspiration from Ancient Egyptian jewels. As Marquet de Vasselot and Auger had worked together on the creation of a presentation sword for General Alfred-Amédée Dodds (1842–1922) five years earlier, the conditions for a successful collaboration were presumably in place when they engaged in the creation of a presentation sword for Marchand.
