EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning 17th century German princely costume, dating between 1625 and 1640, showcases the opulence and grandeur of the European aristocracy during this era. The centerpiece of the ensemble is the intricately designed armor, adorned with an elegant lace edge sash that adds a touch of refinement to the otherwise militaristic piece. The armor is also accompanied by a falling collar and reverse cuffs, both trimmed with intricate lace patterns, adding to the overall ornate appearance. The doublet and breeches, worn beneath the armor, are also trimmed with lace, continuing the theme of intricate detailing. Even the small roses adorning the shoes are made of lace, adding an exquisite finishing touch. The wearer of this costume would have also donned spurs and rosettes to complete the look. The sword, held in the hand, is a symbol of power and authority, further emphasizing the princely status of the wearer. The use of lace, a luxury textile at the time, would have been a clear indication of wealth and high social standing. The intricate designs and attention to detail in this costume reflect the extravagance and grandeur of the German courts during the early modern period. This magnificent costume provides a glimpse into the rich history and cultural traditions of the time, offering a fascinating insight into the lives of the European nobility during the 17th century.
