- Lot Description
Central/Western Europe, Germany, late Gothic era, ca. late 15th century to early 16th century CE. A fine German sallet helmet shaped from hammered carbon-steel plates that form the domed design and squat top crest. The neck guard and lower peripheries that sweep back and terminate in a point are of an identifiably German design and have in-folded lips for additional thickness. A rectangular sight hole is cut from the front and is protected by a swiveling visor bearing a slit-form sight hole, a protruding nasal point, a vertical crest that follows that of the helmet dome, and a petite attachment perforation on one side. Sixteen cast-brass rivets decorate the back, six of which are adorned with radiating incised grooves, and the entire helmet is enveloped in fine patina. Size: 14.875" L x 8.5" W x 9.2" H (37.8 cm x 21.6 cm x 23.4 cm)
For two strikingly similar examples, please see The Metropolitan Museum of Art, accession numbers 04.3.226 and 29.158.11.
An example bearing strong stylistic similarities - forged from a single piece with no visor and of a smaller form - hammered for GBP 32,450 ($42,093.65) at Christie's, London, South Kensington "Antique Arms, Armour and Collectors Firearms" auction (sale 3136, November 23, 2011, lot 91).
