DECORATIVE CORINTHIAN HELMET WITH RED PLUME ON WOODEN STAND

Item Size: Height: 120cm, Width: 50cm, Depth: 30cm, Weight: 10Kg

Brass And Bronze Decorative Helmet Featuring Classical Corinthian Design With Embossed Lion Mask Motif, Studded Detailing, And Articulated Cheek Guards. Mounted On Turned Wooden Pedestal Base. Topped With Vibrant Red Horsehair Plume Secured In Brass Holder. Ornamental Display Piece Inspired By Ancient Greek Military Headgear.

A dramatic decorative piece connected to Darryn’s years in London and his fascination with history, theatre and storytelling.
The helmet also ties into a memorable story involving Formula One figure Bernie Ecclestone. Darryn recalled Bernie once telling him: “If there’s no fire when I arrive at work, I start one.”
Inspired by the quote, Darryn later gifted Ecclestone an antique fireman’s helmet.
The helmet reflects Darryn’s lifelong attraction to theatrical, symbolic objects with larger-than-life personalities attached to them.
