PARADE HELMET

XVII Century

About the Item

This 17th-century parade helmet, made in Milan, is an outstanding example of Lombard weapons art of the period. Its iron frame is embellished with embossing and chiseling techniques, which lend depth and fine detail to the decorations. Embossing allows the metal to be shaped by creating reliefs, while chiseling precisely defines details, resulting in elegant ornamental patterns. The gilding adds another level of prestige, illuminating the helmet with golden highlights that enhance the intricate workmanship. In the 17th century, Milan was renowned for producing not only functional but also aesthetically refined armor for nobles and dignitaries. This helmet perfectly embodies that tradition, combining craftsmanship and artistic sense. The presence of decorative details, such as mythological figures or floral motifs, testifies to the Renaissance influence on Lombard art of the time. Such a piece is not only a collector's item, but also a historical testimony to the expertise and aesthetic taste of the 17th-century Milanese armor masters.
