A near flawless reproduction of Royal Parade Armour from designs by Etienne Delaune. This listing is for #3 of King Henry II Royal Parade Shield. ÃfÂ%tienne Delaune provided many designs for the much admired decorative arts of France under King Henry II. He was recorded as a journeyman goldsmith in Paris in 1546 and worked briefly as the King's Chief medalist at the royal mint in 1552. Although dismissed from that post, he continued working for the king. In 1556 he furnished designs for Henry's parade armor. A collection of shields were created for display in the Armoury projected for the Pavilion d'Armes at Fontainebleau. A small number of these shields will be produced, not to exceed 500 worldwide. Each piece is completely hand shaped, plated, polished and then numbered. This shield is a created on a per order basis. It is not cast or pressed, but electroformed over a weeks time atom by atom in copper and nickel silver. As collectors ourselves, we take great pride in our work! Hopefully the images speak for themselves. 2007 Copyright Applies
