Historical Context: The Sallet as a Masterpiece of Gothic Armour
The Sallet (derived from the Italian "celata") was the most popular type of helmet during the 15th century, particularly in Germanic lands and the Burgundian sphere of influence. It evolved from the simpler kettle hat and eventually replaced older helmet types like the bascinet. Its signature feature is the elongated tail protecting the back of the neck and its elegant, aerodynamic shape, designed to make enemy strikes glance off harmlessly. This specific model represents a variant with a movable visor, typically worn by heavy cavalrymen and knights. The Sallet became a symbol of the late Middle Ages and is still considered one of the most beautiful elements of European plate armour.
Maintenance and Safety Guidelines
Since this miniature is made of steel, it requires occasional care to remain shiny. We recommend wiping the surface with a dry cloth and applying a thin film of protective oil (such as WD-40 or specialized gun oil) to prevent oxidation and rust spots, especially in environments with higher humidity. Please keep in mind that this is a decorative replica. Although it is made of metal, it is not intended for use as protective gear. The edges of the steel plates can be relatively sharp at this scale; therefore, the product should be kept out of reach of small children to avoid scratches or other injuries. Never attempt to forcefully bend or modify the miniature, as this could damage the riveted joints. To create a complete historical atmosphere, we recommend pairing this helmet with other miniature weapons or heraldic shields to form an impressive collection on your desk.
