- Lot Description
Europe, Italy, Victorian era, ca. 19th century CE. A fabulous matched steel cuirass and cabasset helmet created in the Victorian era as a copy of 16th century Renaissance-style armor. The cabasset helmet has a traditional dome-shaped form with a pointed top. It displays several panels of acid-etched foliate patterns, with a royal guard in profile on either side within ovoid frames, fourteen brass rivets, and a rope-pattern border along the narrow brim. The matching cuirass is formed from a single steel plate and displays similar foliate patterns across the central crest and peripheries, all against a black ground. Similar brass rivets line the arm and neck borders, with rope patterns embellishing the exterior edges and thin grooves terminating in a loose spiral near the upper chest. Both pieces of armor have at least two perforated holes for suspension or for attaching other aesthetic elements. A wonderful example of Victorian-era Renaissance revival armor! Size (cuirass): 15" W x 19.25" H (38.1 cm x 48.9 cm); size (helmet): 9.125" W x 8.5" H (23.2 cm x 21.6 cm).
