Recommended combination
Product description
In the mid-15th century, a regional variant of the sallet emerged in England and the Low Countries, known as the “English-Burgundian style.” Fully armored soldiers usually wore this helmet with a bevor, giving it similar facial protection and a comparable front appearance to the German sallet. However, it was more curved in shape and had a less pronounced rear extension. In many ways, this type stood between the German and Italian variants. Sallets made in France also show strong similarities to this style.
Combining Sallet and Bevor
The sallet can be worn in combination with a bevor in several ways:
-
Sallet half on the head – provides optimal visibility.
-
Sallet half on the head with bevor closed – gives optimal visibility with extra facial protection.
-
Sallet flat on the head with visor open – allows optimal visibility and is useful for giving orders in battle.
-
Sallet flat on the head with visor open and bevor closed – provides slightly more visibility than a fully closed visor.
-
Sallet flat on the head with visor closed – offers maximum protection for the head and face.
This helmet is based on originals found in England. Similar examples are part of the collections at the Wallace Collection and the Royal Armouries in Leeds.
The helmet is made of 2 mm thick steel, weighs approximately 3 kg, and fits a head circumference of up to 62 cm.
