Pair of Wheellock Pistols with Matching Priming Flask/Spanner

The object is a pair of pistols with a priming flask and spanner. The pistol has a long, curved handle made of metal with gold and silver engravings, a trigger, and a long barrel. The handle features a decorative knob at the end. A small pan is on the side near the handle, and a wheel is partially visible. The background is gray. A matching priming flask and spanner are not visible. The artist's work appears to be from Etienne Delaune. The item appears to be ornate and old.
