This extraordinary and remarkably well-preserved ensemble represents a complete set of late medieval German infantry armour, dating from the 15th to early 16th century. Forged entirely from high-quality steel plates and joined with traditional leather straps for proper articulation and fit, the armour embodies the superb craftsmanship and engineering of the German armourers of the period. The helmet is a finely made European bascinet, the classic combat helmet of the era. It features a gracefully pointed visor and hinged cheek plates, designed to provide both excellent facial protection and freedom of movement, while allowing sufficient ventilation and audibility during combat. The bascinet retains its original character and displays the subtle fluted detailing that became a hallmark of German armour-making in the transitional phase from the Gothic to the early Renaissance styles. The suit is mounted on an antique wooden mannequin stand measuring 175 cm in height and includes its original linen undergarment and chainmail shirt...

This important and unique sword was presented to the famed French painter Jean-Gabriel Domergue to commemorate the painter's election to the illustrious Académie des Beaux-Arts in 1950. One of the highest honors bestowed on a French artist, the ceremonial induction into the French Academy has been accompanied by the presentation of a sword since the age of Napoléon. Rather than a weapon, the sword became part of the Academician's uniform, and, over time, its design came to represent the interests and aspirations of its recipient. This example was designed entirely by Domergue's wife Odette, a great sculptor in her own right, and thus it represents both a highly personal gift and an important art historical relic. The design of the sword is simply magnificent. Odette Domergue found her inspiration in antiquity, a theme that is also seen in the neoclassical sculptures that occupy the gardens of the couple's famous home, Villa Fiesole - also known as Villa Domergue - in Cannes. The impressive weapon boasts a solid gold handle that takes the form of a sinuous caryatid, who is nude save for a single swath of drapery. While the female figure recalls the sculpted supports prevalent in ancient Greek architecture, she also calls to mind the subjects for which Domergue was renowned - languorous, slightly risqué women with a seductive air. Other decorative elements such as fauna, cypresses, and grotesque heads enhance the whimsy and imagination of the incredible neoclassical design. Furthermore, the scabbard that contains the finely etched blade is also an impeccable work of art. Crafted of black Moroccan leather in imitation of the snake skin, it displays intricately engraved foliage patterns with a lion's head and Domergue's coat of arms. Though imagined by his wife, the sword was expertly chiseled by the celebrated goldsmith R. Delsinne and assembled by the atelier of the famed sculptor and medalist Raymond Delamarre...

This artifact is an Indo-Persian Kulah Khud helmet, a traditional style of head armor used across Persia, India, and the Ottoman Empire from the 17th to the 19th centuries. This traditional Indo-Persian Kulah Khud helmet is primarily made of forged steel. The skull bowl was fashioned from a single sheet of wrought iron or low-carbon steel, which was meticulously hammered, visible in photo #6, over a mold to form a uniform, protective dome. Forged either of iron or a matching steel alloy, the sharp spear-point spike mounted at the absolute top of the dome served a psychological and combative purpose to deflect downwards sword blows. Also attached is a vertical metal strip running down the center front, a nasal guard designed to protect the user's face. The two small, angled metal sockets on the front flanks were designed to hold decorative feathers (such as heron or egret plumes) during military parades or court displays. The darkened, brownish finish on this specific piece is a natural patina, indicating oxidized steel that has weathered over time from environmental exposure and age. The outer bowl features extensive hand-engraved scrollwork, typical of the decorative styles popularized during the Safavid and Qajar periods. Such Indo-Persian helmets...

This pair of magnificent percussion duelling pistols, crafted in the mid-19th century, in all likelihood in Liège, the recognised centre of European gunsmithing of that era, recalls a time when a weapon was an object of pride and a mark of its owner’s taste. The octagonal barrels with engraving at the breech and muzzle, the percussion locks (which replaced the flintlock in the 1820s to 1840s) with expressive “gooseneck” hammers, the shaped pommel, the mounting screws: all these details are executed with exquisite ornament in the Neo-Rococo style with foliate scrolls, which demonstrates the virtuoso handwork of a Liège engraver. The grips and forestock, made from a solid piece of walnut, are distinguished by refined forms and are richly decorated with relief carving, executed by the confident hand of a carver. Such a level of finish indicates the manufacture not of utilitarian weapons, but of pistols of the high price segment of that time. This pair of pistols will undoubtedly adorn any collection or interior, bringing to it the aesthetics and spirit of nobility of the 19th century, when dignity and honour were placed on the same scale as life, and the duel was one of the instruments of justice. DETAILS: Attribution / Maker: Presumably, the complete assembly of the pistols was carried out in a workshop in Liège (Belgium) or elsewhere in Europe (France, Germany), using barrels manufactured in Liège. The breech of the barrels bears a proof mark in an oval cartouche (partially concealed by the stock): ELG with a star, the mark of the Liège Proof House (Banc d’Épreuves de Liège), in use from 1846 to 1893. The mark indicates that the barrels were submitted to the compulsory proof test at Liège. Gold-inlaid numbers "1" and "2" on the barrels. Period: Mid-19th century (circa 1846 to the 1860s). Materials: Steel, wood, white metal (likely nickel silver). Pistols dimensions (approx., each): overall length 42 cm (16.5 inches), barrel length 26 cm (10.2 inches), thickness 4.1 cm (1.6 inches), height 17.5 cm (6.9 inches), calibre approx. 11 mm (0.43 inches). Condition: Overall in good condition, with age-appropriate wear. There are brass-brazed repairs to the hammer necks of both pistols; a decorative part of the metal trigger guard is missing on one pistol; there are minor cracks, chips, and dents on the wooden stocks. The hammers on both pistols can be cocked, indicating a working trigger mechanism; the bores have not been inspected for pitting. Case dimensions (approx.): height 8.2 cm (3.2 inches), length 53 cm (20.9 inches), width 31.5 cm (12.4 inches). Case: Later case, not original to the pistols; the lid lining features the gold-stamped Gothic-script inscription "M.Z.Z. Szulc". Accessories are absent. Provenance: Swedish private collection. Shipping: Approx. weight of each pistol 1.05 kg, total weight of the case with pistols 6.6 kg; packed approx. weight 8-9 kg. Secure, insured worldwide shipping available. Import duties, customs clearance, and compliance with local state/municipal regulations regarding antique firearms...
