Lord Frederic Leighton (1830 - 1896) was born in Scarborough, England in 1830, the son of a doctor. His grandfather, Sir James Leighton, was court physician to Czar Alexander I of Russia.

Authentic 18th Century Plate steel European cuirass, constructed of a separate breastplate and backplate, with the latter attached to the former by means of an adjustable leather strap at each shoulder, protected by riveted steel plates, and with an adjustable leather waist belt. The inside of the backplate bears a large numeral “7”, likely an old auction or collector”s accession number. Likely German Armor. The use of the cuirass as a military accoutrement has an extremely long history, from ancient Greek and Roman times all the way through to use by German and French heavy cavalry up to the beginning of World War I. Based on this example’s use of machine-made rivets and buckles, we believe this armor to date from the 18th Century. The steel shows minor surface oxidation overall, with no active rust apparent, and the leather belts shows minor wear but remain supple, else very good. Dimensions: 28" x 24" x 19"
