Lot Description
A 17th Century German Etched and Painted Half Suit of Armor
About 26" x 22" x 14". Half suit of armor with etched borders to all plates enclosing black painted panels with attached split fauld, spaulders, and gorget. Item manufactured in the style of German armor dating from the 17th Century, with the breast and backplate showing no visible armorer marks. All plates feature a continuous pattern of foliate scroll etching subdividing the breast and backplate into four panels that divide into two flowing over left and right fauld and spaulders. Item is of riveted construction with the majority of components held in place with iron rivets and plates attached via leather straps and buckles. Spaulders have been mounted for display via a series of modern bolts piercing all seven segments of each spaulder. Nuts protrude into the interior space.
