Helmet, Breastplate, and Backplate

D. G. V. Lochorst

ca. 1575 · Steel, leather, textile (velvet, wool) · Arms and Armor

Although inspired by French examples, the ornament of this armor is distinctly Flemish. This is the only recorded work by Lochorst, possibly a goldsmith rather than an armorer, whose signature is found on the backplate.
