- Lot Description
Western Europe, England, English Civil War period, ca. 1642 to 1651 CE. A fabulous example of an iron cavalier helmet with a broad brim that is curved upwards along one side. The domed head pot is riveted together from two halves, and the brim is attached via rivets to the flared rim underneath. A slender cylinder is attached to one side of the dome, and a threaded screw secures the spade-tipped bar that projects from the front. Dozens of decorative rivets line the brim exterior, and visible evidence of blackening shows an attempt to weatherproof the exterior surfaces. Helmets like this example were once meant as pikeman helmets - hence the spear-shaped frontal ornament - though they were later combined with costume armor worn by wealthy supporters of King Charles I during the English Civil War. Size: 16.75" L x 13.5" W x 9.7" H (42.5 cm x 34.3 cm x 24.6 cm)
For a strikingly similar example with gilded accents, please see The Metropolitan Museum of Art, accession number 29.158.53.
Provenance: private J.H. collection, Beaverton, Oregon, USA, acquired in 2018; ex-private London, United Kingdom collection
