Protection du torse en mailles, en forme... - Lot 181 - Pierre Bergé & Associés
Protection du torse en mailles, en forme de « mantelet d'évêque », constituée de divers éléments en mailles rivetées du XVIe siècle. A large Mail defence for the upper torso, formed as a "Bishop's Mantle", constructed from differing elements of 16th century Mail. The upper section over the shoulders and the upper chest formed as an exceptionally dense weave of small riveted iron rings of two sizes and gauges arranged in alternate rows, the coverage of this section greater on the right and running at a diagonal between the shoulders at the rear, the remaining areas composed of larger rings of slightly differing types, some flat and butted and arranged as alternate rows, the rings predominantly rounded and entirely riveted over the greater area, with vandyked lower border partly formed of brass rings, V-shaped chest opening fitted with later iron buckles on brass-backed rivets and with matching large fittings for straps, and the left side of the chest fitted with a later iron-backed brass plaque bearing a spurious Nuremberg mark (sold without a display stand). H.: 68 cm.
