"Exquisite gold sword handles would have graced the sides of royal courtesans,"

Either the author was unsure what a courtesan was, or they provided for very specialist tastes!

I did wonder if they meant "courtiers".

But what if it didn't.  Imagine the idea of guards of armed courtesans with gold hilted swords.  What army would not be enhanced by such a unit.
