Vintage French Medieval Knight's Helmet in Brass

About the Item

Vintage French Medieval Knight's Helmet in Brass is a marvelous recreation of a period artifact. Hand-crafted by an obviously skilled artisan who clearly studied an original extensively, it was fashioned by hand in brass and nickel-plated brass to a remarkable degree of detail. The crest along the top of the helmet provides rigidity and all seams are expertly welded, with decorative brass florets riveted in place by hand. The eye visor is mounted on swivels to the knight could flip it open when not in battle or jousting. The entire affair is split longitudinally and held in place with an eye hook which allowed it to be opened and easily placed on one's head. The flared collar with brass trim helps spread out the weight of the device to one's shoulders. There's even a mount in the back which would hold decorative flags or plumes. Amazing detail for the connoisseur and collector! Circa mid-1900s Measures 15H x 10W x 14D.

  • 19th Century French Gothic Sacrament Cabinet
    Located in Dallas, TX
    19th Century French Gothic Sacrament cabinet was artfully sculpted from solid oak and fruitwood to create a remarkable religious artifact designed to be appreciated throughout the ages! The trapezoidal form of the casework is in keeping with the Gothic style, which historians concur originated in the Cathedral of St. Denis during the middle of the 12th century. Boldly molded crown follows the complex contours and overlooks the case below which features a single door flanked by cornerposts that feature pilasters facing front as well as the sides, with recessed arched panels topped with recessed circular frames above filled with carved rosettes highlighted in gold. The arched recesses facing the front are also filled with carved floral and wheat motifs also highlighted in gold, representing the Bread of Life. The door panel, however, steals the show, with a gloriously carved relief work depicting both wheat and fully laden grapevines adding the significance of the Blood of Christ...
