- Lot Description
Western/Southern Europe, northern Italy, perhaps Brescia or Milan, ca. 1580s CE. A fantastic suit of steel-plate armor used for field duties during the late 16th century CE. The close helmet features a roped vertical crest, a visor secured with a pin and loop, and a pierced floral-shaped ventilation hole beneath the eye slit. The breastplate is of a deep peascod form with a V-shaped rib between shoulder straps and a waist strap, and the top of both the breastplate and one-piece backplate bear roped edges and stamped hallmarks from the Vienna Arsenal. The collar is made of three plates and has a roped upper edge and hinged openings, and the thigh tassets are composed of nine riveted lames with attachment buckles. Symmetrical pauldrons and vambraces exhibit embossed raised lines and brass rivets, and the gauntlets have pointed cuffs, recessed borders, and several top lames. The symmetrical leg guards consist of a cuisse, poleyns, greaves, and sabatons with locking studs and leather straps with steel rivets. Size: 24.75" W x 66.5" H (62.9 cm x 168.9 cm); 72.8" H (184.9 cm) on included custom stand.
