  Mini Burgonet with Stand

  SKU: AH3819.M

  The burgonet, sometimes called the Burgundian sallet, succeeded the sallet as a Renaissance and early modern combat helmet, characterised by a rounded skull with a fixed or hinged peak projecting above the face, an integral crest or comb running front to back, and substantial hinged cheekpieces that typically left the chin and throat exposed. This miniature reproduction recreates that classic Renaissance silhouette at a smaller, decorative scale, complete with its own display stand. A compact way to bring the burgonet’s distinctive peak, comb and cheekpieces into a home or collection.

  Burgonet Helmet

  SKU: AH3819

  The burgonet, sometimes called the Burgundian sallet, succeeded the sallet as a Renaissance and early modern combat helmet, characterised by a rounded skull with a fixed or hinged peak projecting above the face, an integral crest or comb running front to back, and substantial hinged cheekpieces that typically left the chin and throat exposed. This reproduction recreates that classic Renaissance form, its open face and hinged cheekpieces offering a genuine balance of protection, visibility and comfort for extended wear. The burgonet’s design directly echoed Roman legionary helmets, a deliberate nod to classical antiquity that characterised much of Renaissance military fashion.

  Primus Closed Burgonet Helmet (Europe, 17th Century)

  SKU: PRH302

  This closed burgonet combines the light, open-faced burgonet's high combed skull with the fuller facial protection of a close helmet — worth correcting directly here, since older listing copy filed this piece under 'Medieval,' when it is a genuine 17th century Renaissance-era form. The burgonet emerged in the early 16th century as the Medieval armet evolved into new Renaissance styles, and this closed variant represents a later hybrid development combining both traditions. Weighing as much as 20 pounds in genuine period examples, the closed burgonet was primarily worn by European cavalry seeking maximum protection.
