An extremely well made French<br />

copy of the famed suit of parade<br />

armour made by Eienne Delaune<br />

for the French King Henry II<br />

now in the Louvre in Paris. The<br />

complete armour in 16th century<br />

style is completely covered with<br />

raised design showing antique<br />

warriors in battle and resting<br />

with the winged goddess of victory<br />

over a trophy on the back<br />

plate. Some of the items are cast<br />

and some is hammered out and<br />

the parts are held together with<br />

bolts. It cannot be worn, but is<br />

a magnificent piece probably<br />

by the Lorraine master Antoine<br />

vechte (1799-1868). He must<br />

have had access to the original<br />

in order to make the fine castings,<br />

which follows the original<br />

in every detail. It stands 185 cm.<br />

tall with its original leather doll.<br />
