Schild - Antik - Frankreich - 1850-1900
Western Europe, probably England or France, A fabulous cooper shield with a relief scene of a battle around the walls of the face, and a central boss depicting a chariot. The battle is dynamically portrayed; people are being trampled, horses are rearing, and the soldiers fight with swords and spears. A castle with cannons is also featured, and the central charioteer appears victorious with his spear raised high in the air. This heavy piece was probably used for decorative purposes, since the Victorians were fascinated by medieval life and wished to capture the romanticism of a bygone age of chivalry by recreating medieval styled weaponry.
