Hand-Hammered Brass Helm with Cheek Plates; This substantial brass sculpture captures the authentic engineering of historical armor. Unlike purely ornamental pieces, this handcrafted helmet features functional-style hinged additions and a completely hand-hammered surface, designed to be the defining artifact in a private library or executive office. The entire dome is shaped and finished using traditional planishing techniques. The dense, overlapping hammer strikes create a raw, dimpled texture that beautifully diffuses light. A heavy cascade of manually linked metal rings provides a weighted, kinetic base that contrasts with the solid brass dome. Height: 58 cm \ 22.8 inches Width: 22 cm \ 8.6 inches Depth: 29 cm \ 11.4 inches A rare and striking detail, the helmet includes solid brass side-plates attached via heavy-duty hinges over the chainmail, reflecting the protective engineering of actual battlefield armor.
