About the Item
An exceptional and extremely rare complete set of Italian infantry armour from the 16th century, featuring a finely crafted triple-comb burgonet helmet with hinged ear flaps for improved hearing. The helmet retains its original character and showcases the classic fluted detailing associated with the period.
The armour is composed of forged steel plates, joined with leather straps for proper fitting, and rests on an antique wooden mannequin stand measuring 175 cm in height. It comes with its original linen undergarment and chainmail shirt, though the gauntlets are now missing. Despite this, the armour remains remarkably complete and authentic.
Included with the set is an original period halberd, a formidable polearm that perfectly complements the display and underlines its historical significance..
Overall, the armour survives in very good condition with only expected signs of age and use, consistent with a genuine 16th-century example.
Such complete and original armors are exceedingly hard to find on the market today, making this a museum-quality acquisition for serious collectors, institutions, or those wishing to display an authentic centerpiece of Renaissance martial history.
