About the Item

Arm and shoulder defence, Northern Italy (Milan or Brescia), mid-16th century (circa 1550–1580) A substantial steel armour element comprising a pauldron, upper arm (rerebrace), articulated elbow (couter) and hinged vambrace. Of fully articulated construction with overlapping riveted plates, characteristic of North Italian Renaissance armour. The vambrace opens by original hinged construction, correct for the period and allowing ease of wear. The piece shows old repairs to some rivets, historically consistent and without intrusive modern restoration. Retains an attractive old patina with honest wear in keeping with its age. A technically coherent and complete arm defence, not a later composite, and likely from a field armour rather than purely ceremonial use. Overall height: approx. 60 cm Condition: good antique condition, with old repairs Origin: Northern Italy Rarity: rare survival as a complete arm and shoulder element
