Quick Overview

European Bascinet was a popular helmet throughout 1300's and early 1400's because of its rounded style which provided protection during combat. It covered the entire head. Its shape was likened to a basin, thus the helmet's name.


Add beauty and distinction to your home with this skillfully handcrafted fully wearable life size helmet made of 18 gauge steel detailed with brass accents. European Bascinet was the favored "War Helmet" of the 1300 and early 1400's! During this time of transition from chain mail to plate armor, the bascinet style helmet has held its place in history. Inventory of the "Duke of Gloucester's" effects drawn up in 1397 lists two bascinets for "war and jousts" and three helmets (like the frogmouth) for jousts of "peace", implying an actual favor of this rounded style bascinet for glancing off blows during combat.
