Inscription on the armor:
“Manufacture royale de Klingenthal, June 1829”
Provenance:
This authentic signed cuirass was crafted at the renowned Royal Manufacture of Klingenthal in Alsace, established in 1730 during the reign of Louis XV.

In 1829, under the management of the Coulaux brothers, Klingenthal became the exclusive supplier of steel armor plates, including cuirasses for France’s heavy cavalry units, particularly the cuirassiers. The signature on this backplate embodies the exceptional quality and artisanal expertise of its era.
