Burgonet ca. 1540-50; cheekpieces replaced, 1932 Replacement cheek-pieces made by Leonard Heinrich German This burgonet belongs to a series of virtually identical examples having three raised and engrailed combs that were worn by the guards attached to a noble German or Austrian house. Several helmets bear the mark of Augsburg and that of Desiderius Helmschmid (1513-1579), the city's leading armorer in this period (this particular helmet is unmarked). Pairs of holes in the bowl suggest that the surface was covered with fabric, stitched in place, leaving only the tall combs exposed. The forging of a helmet bowl with three tall combs from a single plate of steel required considerable skill; the challenge was also met by Italian armorers, who created triple-combed burgonets for the Farnese guard (see acc. no. 04.3.219). (The cheekpieces are modern replacements made by the Museum's armorer Leonard Heinrich in 1932.). Burgonet 26506

Close-Helmet for the Field ca. 1560-70 Italian In the 1560s it became fashionable in Italy to cover an armor with multiple narrow bands of foliate ornament, a practice carried to the extreme in this example. The presence of a large reinforcing brow plate on a close-helmet of this date is highly unusual, but it is found on similarly decorated armors made for the court of Ferrara.

Portions of a Jousting Helmet. Italian; Milan. Date: 1560-1590. Dimensions: H. 40.6 cm (16 in.). Steel, gilding, and leather. Origin: Milan. Museum: The Chicago Art Institute, Chicago, USA.

Breastplate, c. 1560-1580. South Germany, 16th century. Steel, leather straps, brass rivets; overall: 42.3 x 32 x 14.2 cm (16 5/8 x 12 5/8 x 5 9/16 in.). This armor was developed for the joust-a sporting combat between two mounted contestants. Although all of the elements of this armor date from the same period, they are not all from the same suit. This armor is thus called "composed." It also shows the asymmetry of jousting armor. The participants rode along a wall-like barrier known as a "tilt" with their left sides facing one another. Consequently, armor on that side of the body had to be thicker. Note the large plate (grandguard) over the left shoulder for extra protection. Also, the breathing holes in the helmet were placed on the right side (farthest from an opponent's lance) to avoid injuries from splinters. The bracket attached to the right breastplate is called the lance-rest, a shock-absorbing support designed to accommodate the lance when "couched" under the right armpit.

Date: ca. 1400-1425.This piece is notable for the early presence of stop-ribs, the two curved struts riveted to the outer and inner plates.

Lower Plate of a Bascinet early 15th century Italian This is part of a large find of medieval armor discovered in 1840 in the ruins of the fortress of Chalcis, on the Greek island of Euboea (then a Venetian colony called Negroponte). The fortress had been captured and destroyed by the Turks in 1470. Now divided largely between the Ethnological Museum, Athens, and The Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Chalcis hoard contains many rare and unusual elements of fourteenth- and fifteenth-century armor. Of particular importance are the variety of headpieces and the many fragments of brigandines (armor for the torso constructed of small plates riveted to layers of fabric), some of which retain portions of their original velvet covering. The Chalcis armor provides a unique picture of the armament used in the Aegean, one of the easternmost military outposts of the Venetian empire.. Lower Plate of a Bascinet.

Cuirass ca. 1825 Manufactured at Coulaux Frères, Manufacture Royale d'Armes de Klingenthal This is one of only two known cuirasses with rich etched and gilt ornamentation dating from the restoration of the French monarchy, and a very rare example of nineteenth-century luxury armor. Forged and decorated in the Royal manufactory of Arms at Klingenthal in Alsace, it was probably specially ordered by François Marie Louis Victor, baron de Latour-Foissac (1784-1851) in anticipation of the coronation of Charles X of Bourbon (1757-1836, reigned 1824 to 1830) on May 29, 1825, in Reims. As the colonel of the Regiment of the Queens Cuirassiers, Latour-Foissac was the commander of the detachment that would escort the royal carriage during the solemn procession to Reims cathedral. Because of his age and declining health, however, Latour-Foissac, a seasoned veteran from the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic wars, obtained permission to retire from active duty on May 23, 1825, only two days befor

Tobacconist's Figure - Turk, 1750-1850. Pinto Collection - Purchased from Edward H Pinto, 1965.. This figure was made to sit on the counter of a tobacconist shop (originally holding a pipe, but this is missing). It was used to advertise Turkish tobacco which became popular in the UK in the mid nineteenth century, as a result of the Crimean war. Sadly, most shop figures are unsigned, but it is widely believed that the craftsmen who made figures like these, were also responsible for large sculptural work such as ships' figureheads and fairground animals.

Cannons owned by the Van Reigersberg family. These cannons bear the coat of arms of the Van Reigersberg family of Zeeland and the inscription Semper idem’ (always the same). Their presumed owner was Johan van Reigersberg, committee member for Zeeland in the Admiralty of Amsterdam and dike reeve of the Beemster polder. The cannons probably stood in his house, Molembaix, in Walcheren. The cannon decorations and herons and water plants on the carriages allude to the family name.
