This miniature Cuirass is a copy of one of the many French armours captured by English troops in 1627. Much of this captured armour was later used by the English during the English civil war, and tradition has it that the English made helmets especially for them. Being a ‘boy-prince’ armour, the helmet features broader cheek-pieces with elaborate pierced decoration. Otherwise this is a standard three bar English pot helmet. The armour has been ground and polished white throughout, and is sold complete with stand, and measures 16.5” from the skirt to top of helmet, which has a 16” internal circumference.
