Masque d’escrime ancien en cuir et métal – Fin XIXe / début XXe - Olympic Games - Sports helmet

Old fencing mask, dated from the late 19th or early 20th century, made of thin leather and canvas with a metal facial grille.

This type of mask was used for fencing practice at the time, particularly in France and Western Europe. The object has undergone light restoration aimed at preserving the original elements.

Visible signs of use: leather patina, abrasions, cracks, superficial oxidation of the grille. The interior retains its original padding, with areas of wear. Authentic collectible object, well preserved.

NOTE. The bust used for the photos is only a presentation support. It is not included in the sale. Only the mask will be sent to the winning bidder.
