after tidal immersion, particularly notorious criminals' bodies could be hung in cages a little farther downstream at either cuckold's point or blackwall point, as a warning to other waterborne criminals of the possible consequences of their actions (such a fate befell captain william kidd in may 1701). there were objections that these displays offended foreign visitors and did not uphold the reputation of the law, though the scenes even became gruesome tourist attractions. ~~~ variants : in some cases, the bodies would be left until their clothes rotted or even until the bodies were almost completely decomposed, after which the bones would be scattered. ~~~ in cases of drawing and quartering, the body of the criminal was cut into four or five portions, with the several parts often gibbeted in different places. ~~~ hanging cage at the main gate to corciano, province of perugia, italy : so that the public display might be prolonged, bodies were sometimes coated in tar or bound in chains. sometimes, body-shaped iron cages were used to contain the decomposing corpses. for example, in march 1743 in the town of rye, east sussex, allen grebell was murdered by john breads. breads was imprisoned in the ypres tower and then hanged, after which his body was left to rot for more than 20 years in an iron cage on gibbet marsh. the cage, with breads's skull clamped within the headframe, is still kept in the town hall. ~~~ another example of the cage variation is the gibbet iron, on display at the atwater kent museum in philadelphia, pennsylvania. the cage, created in 1781, was intended to be used to display the body of convicted pirate thomas wilkinson, so that sailors on passing ships might be warned of the consequences of piracy; wilkinson's planned execution never took place, so the gibbet was never used. ~~~ an example of an iron cage used to string up bodies on a gibbet can still be seen in the westgate museum at winchester. ~~~ historical examples : antiquity ~ the old testament (torah) law forbids gibbeting beyond sundown of the day that the body is hanged on the tree. public crucifixion with prolonged display of the body after death can be seen as a form of gibbeting. gibbeting was one of the methods said by tacitus and cassius dio to have been used by boudica's army in the massacre of roman settlers in the destruction of camulodunum (colchester), londinium (london) and verulamium (st. albans) in ad 60â\u20ac\u201c61. ~~~ bermuda : during the 17th and 18th centuries, gibbets were a common site in bermuda. located in smith's parish at the entrance to flatt's inlet is gibbet island, which was used to hang the bodies of escaped slaves as a deterrent to others. the small island was used for this purpose because it was not on the mainland and therefore satisfied the beliefs of locals who did not want gibbets near their homes. ~~~ canada : the gibbet in which marie-josephte corriveau was exhibited after her execution, the \"cage\" of la corriveaumarie-josephte corriveau (1733â\u20ac\u201c1763), better known as \"la corriveau\", is one of the most popular figures in quã©bã©cois folklore. she lived in new france, was sentenced to death by a british military court martial for the murder of her second husband, was hanged for it, and her body hung in chains. her story has become legendary in quebec, and she is the subject of numerous books and plays. ~~~ during the napoleonic wars, the royal navy used hangman's beach on mcnab's island in halifax harbour to display the hanged bodies of deserters, in order to deter the crews of passing warships. ~~~ colony of new south wales : a rocky outcrop not far into port jackson â\u20ac\u201c originally called mat-te-wan-ye in the local aboriginal language, later renamed rock island by governor arthur phillip but today known as pinchgut island and the location of fort denison â\u20ac\u201c was a gibbeting site. it took its name after a convict, thomas hill, was sentenced to a week on the rock in iron chains sustained by only bread and water; the conditions literally pinched his gut, hence the name. the rock was levelled in the 1790s, and a gibbet installed in 1796. francis morgan, transported for life to new south wales after being convicted of murder in 1793, killed again in 1796 and was hanged in chains on pinchgut in november 1796. his dead body, later a skeleton, remained on display on the island for four years. ~~~ the head of oliver cromwell was displayed on a spike after his death, after monarchists disinterred his body during the restoration of the monarchy. robert aske, who led the rebellion against henry viii known as pilgrimage of grace, was hanged in chains in 1537. ~~~ germany and the netherlands : the leaders of the anabaptist movement in mã¼nster were executed in 1536; their dead bodies were gibbeted in iron cages hanging from the steeple of st. lambert's church, and the cages are still on display there today. similarly, following his execution by hanging in 1738, the corpse of jewish financier joseph sã¼ãÿ oppenheimer was gibbeted in a human-sized bird cage that hung outside of stuttgart on the so-called pragsattel (the public execution place at the time) for six years, until the inauguration of karl eugen, duke of wã¼rttemberg, who permitted the hasty burial of his corpse at an unknown location. ~~~ after the siege and capture of the city of zutphen in 1591 by the anglo-dutch army the english dug up the body of the former english commander rowland york and hanged and gibbeted it as a reminder of york's treachery in 1587. he had handed over the zutphen sconce to the spaniards after the english army under the earl of leicester was defeated by the spaniards in the battle of zutphen. ~~~ iran : in 838, the iranian hero babak khorramdin had his hands and feet cut off by the abbasid caliphate and was then gibbeted alive while sewn into a cow's skin with the horns at ear level to crush his head gradually as the skin dried out. ~~~ malta : on 4 february 1820, six british pirates were hanged on their vessel in the middle of the harbour at valletta. thereafter, their bodies were hung in gibbets erected at the bastions of fort ricolli. lieutenant hobson of hms spey, in the tender frederick, had apprehended them and their vessel in the harbour at smyrna. ~~~ united states : during the colonial era, bird island and nix's mate island in boston harbor were used for gibbeting pirates and sailors executed for crimes in massachusetts. their bodies were left hanging as a warning to sailors coming into the harbor and approaching boston. in 1755, a slave named mark was hanged in cambridge, massachusetts and then gibbeted in chains in charlestown, massachusetts; twenty years later, paul revere passed the remains of mark on his famous ride. ~~~ after independence, a gang of cuban pirates was gibbeted in new york c.â\u20ac\u20301815. ~~~ last recorded gibbetingsafghanistan : the january 1921 issue of national geographic magazine contains two photographs of gibbet cages, referenced as \"man-cages, \" in use in afghanistan. commentary included with the photograph indicates that the gibbet was a practice still in active use. persons sentenced to death were placed alive in the cage and remained there until some undefined time weeks or months after their deaths. ~~~ australia : in 1837, five years after the practice had ceased in england, the body of john mckay was gibbeted near the spot where he had murdered joseph wilson near perth, tasmania. there was a great outcry, but the body was not removed until an acquaintance of wilson passed the spot and, horrified by the spectacle of mckay's rotting corpse, pleaded with the authorities to remove it. the place where this occurred was just to the right (when travelling towards launceston, not to be confused with the private road with the same name) on the midlands highway on the northern side of perth. it is the last case of gibbetting in a british colony. ~~~ united kingdom : combe gibbet, a replica gibbet in berkshirethe murder act 1751 stipulated that \"in no case whatsoever shall the body of any murderer be suffered to be buried\"; the cadaver was either to be publicly dissected or left \"hanging in chains\". the use of gibbeting had been in decline for some years before it was formally repealed by statute in 1834. in scotland, the final case of gibbeting was that of alexander gillan in 1810. the last two men gibbeted in england were william jobling and james cook, both in 1832. their cases are good examples of the changing attitudes toward the practice. ~~~ william jobling was a miner hanged and gibbeted for the murder of nicholas fairles, a colliery owner and local magistrate, near jarrow, durham. after being hanged, the body was taken off the rope and loaded into a cart and taken on a tour of the area before arriving at jarrow slake, where the crime had been committed. here, the body was placed into an iron gibbet cage. the cage and the scene were described thus: the body was encased in flat bars of iron of two and a half inches in breadth, the feet were placed in stirrups, from which a bar of iron went up each side of the head, and ended in a ring by which he was suspended; a bar from the collar went down the breast, and another down the back, there were also bars in the inside of the legs which communicated with the above; and crossbars at the ankles, the knees, the thighs, the bowels the breast and the shoulders; the hands were hung by the side and covered with pitch, the face was pitched and covered with a piece of white cloth. ~~~ the gibbet was a one-foot (30 cm) in diameter with strong bars of iron up each side. the post was fixed into a one-and-a-half-long-ton (1,500 kg) stone base sunk into the slake. the body was soon removed by fellow miners and given a decent burial. ~~~ james cook was a bookbinder convicted of the murder of his creditor paas, a manufacturer of brass instruments, in leicester. he was executed on friday, 10 august 1832, in front of leicester prison. afterwards: the head was shaved and tarred, to preserve it from the action of the weather; and the cap in which he had suffered was drawn over his face. on saturday afternoon his body, attired as at the time of his execution, having been firmly fixed in the irons necessary to keep the limbs together, was carried to the place of its intended suspension. ~~~ his body was to be displayed on a purpose-built gallows 33 feet (10 m) high in saffron lane near the aylestone tollgate. according to the newgate calendar:thousands of persons were attracted to the spot, to view this novel but most barbarous exhibition; and considerable annoyance was felt by persons resident in the neighbourhood of the dreadful scene. representations were in consequence made to the authorities, and on the following tuesday morning instructions were received from the home office directing the removal of the gibbet. ~~~ although the practice of gibbeting had been abandoned by 1834 in britain, during the british raj of india in 1843, charles james napier threatened to have such structures built in parallel to any attempt to practice sati, the ritualized burning of widows, to execute the perpetrators. ~~~~~~ dear bidders, please view more detailed close-up images by visiting our website - sofedesignauctions.com ~ thank you ! ~~~~~~. detailed condition reports are not included in this catalog. for additional information, including condition reports, please contact us at info@sofedesignauctions.com"},"estimateMax":4500,"lotNumber":"156","title":{"en":"rare italian, english or american 18th-19th c."},"url":"https://us.bidspirit.com/ui/lotPage/sofedesignauctions/source/catalog/auction/56575/lot/24225/view","directSalePrice":1200,"fullPriceVat":true,"aiDescription":"This is a rare 18th-19th century iron gibbet cage, possibly Italian, English, or American in origin.

ornamental decoration in the same metals could be added to the surface of the helmet, allowing areas of cloth to show through. ~~~ in the period 1450â\u20ac\u201c1460, a distinctive german style of sallet appeared. it was round-skulled but was less curvaceous than the italian sallet; its most obvious feature was that the rear of the helmet was drawn out into a long tail, sometimes consisting of a number of lames. one characteristic that distinguishes early german sallets from later german sallets up to c.1495, is the length of the helmet tail, which became more pronounced over time. the front of these helmets sometimes extended down to cover the upper face, with eye-slits provided for vision. other versions retained the same outline, but the upper face was protected by a movable half-visor. german sallets were often worn with a separate scoop-shaped plate gorget, called a bevor, that extended from the upper chest to just below the nose and protected the wearer's lower face and throat. most needed no added ventilation holes, as there was a natural gap where the visor or front of the helmet overlapped the bevor near the wearer's mouth. ~~~ sallet from c. 1460 in the \"english-burgundian\" style, in many ways intermediate between the italian and german formsby the mid 15th century, a regional variety of sallet had evolved in england and the netherlands, termed the 'english-burgundian style' (the netherlands were at that time ruled by the duke of burgundy). it was usually worn with a bevor by more completely armoured soldiers and had very similar facial protection to, and frontal appearance as, the german sallet. it was, however, more curvaceous, and possessed a less extreme projection to the rear. in many ways, it was intermediate between the german and italian forms. french sallets were very similar to the english-burgundian type and all have been classed as \"short-tailed sallets.\" ~~~ demise : in the last generations of german sallets, the bevor was articulated from the same pivot as the visor. initially the bevor was attached inside the skull. when the long tail at the rear of the helmet was eventually shortened, from c. 1495, these later sallets became virtually indistinguishable from close helmets, and the articulation of the bevor moved to the outside of the skull. the sallet was gradually abandoned for field use in the first two decades of the 16th century, being largely replaced by the close helm and burgonet; however, it was retained into the mid century, in a heavily reinforced form, for some types of jousting. ~~~ the german-style sallet was the model for the world war i german stahlhelm, whereas the kettle hat inspired the contemporary british and french helmets. the sallet was the forerunner of the modern combat helmet and firefighter's helmet. ~~~~~~ dear bidders, please view more detailed close-up images by visiting our website - sofedesignauctions.com ~ thank you ! ~~~~~~. detailed condition reports are not included in this catalog. for additional information, including condition reports, please contact us at info@sofedesignauctions.com"},"estimateMax":5000,"lotNumber":"163","title":{"en":"rare gothic german or italian crusader knights sallet"},"url":"https://us.bidspirit.com/ui/lotPage/sofedesignauctions/source/catalog/auction/56575/lot/24232/view","tags":["uscollectibles_woaponsandarmor","uscollectibles","uscollectibles_all"],"directSalePrice":1500,"fullPriceVat":true,"aiDescription":"This is a rare Gothic German or Italian Crusader knight's sallet helmet, a type of light cavalry helmet from the medieval period.

it was derived from an ottoman turkish helmet type. the helmet gradually fell out of use in most of europe in the late 17th century; however, the austrian heavy cavalry retained it for some campaigns as late as the 1780s. ~~~ the french term capeline was also used for this helmet, however, usage of this word was not precise. \"capeline\" was indiscriminately used to denote various types of hat, and helmets other than the lobster-tailed pot. ~~~ origin : the lobster-tailed pot helmet had an oriental origin, being derived from the ottoman turkish chichak (pronounced 'chichak', turkish â\u20ac\u201c means flower in turkish which is attributed to the shape of the helmets top side) helmet, which developed in the 16th century. it was adopted by the christian states of europe in the early 17th century. the chichak was almost identical to the later european helmets â\u20ac\u201c it had a forward projecting peak, sliding bar nasal, cheekpieces and neck guard; only its tendency to have a conical rather than rounded skull was distinctive. the european derivative of this helmet saw widespread use during the thirty years war when it became known as the zischã¤gge, a germanisation of the original turkish name. ~~~ characteristics : the lobster-tailed pot had a rounded skull-piece, which was sometimes fluted. the skulls of english-made helmets were usually formed from two sections, joined by a raised comb running from front to back; the skulls of helmets manufactured on the continent were most often raised from a single-piece of metal. cheekpieces, commonly made in one piece but occasionally articulated, were attached to the skull by leather strapping; however, the better quality examples are sometimes hinged. to protect the face there was either a fixed forward projecting peak that incorporated a sliding nasal bar retained by a large screw, or a hinged peak with three attached bars. finally, the helmet had a laminated defence (or a single-piece of plate ridged to imitate separate lames) to protect the back of the head and neck that was said to resemble the tail of a lobster. ~~~ another common name for the helmet was the \"harquebusier's pot\", the harquebusier being the most common type of cavalry in western europe during the 17th century. the single nasal-bar type was characteristic of continental europe, whilst the three-barred type with a pivoting peak was more widely used in the british isles. many european-made lobster-tailed pot helmets were later imported to britain during the english civil war. occasionally, older helmets like the burgonet or sallet were modified to resemble the 'lobster-pot.' as stated by general george monck in 1644, the \"headpiece with three small bars\" was intended to be pistol-proof. ~~~ decoration and appearance : modern reproduction of a helmet of james ii of england made in 1686. the face protection is in the form of an openwork depiction of the royal coat-of-arms. ~~~ the appearance and finish of lobster-tailed pots varied greatly, from the highly decorated, superb-quality examples made for individual commanders down to crudely executed \"munition-quality\" types, which were mass-produced to equip large numbers of ordinary cavalry troopers. high quality helmets could be decorated using a range of techniques, including repoussã©, engraving and blue-and-gilt finishes. an extant helmet made for king james ii of england had the three bar face defence replaced by a pierced openwork plate depicting the full royal arms of england, sight being afforded by spaces within the design. many helmets were blackened or browned as a treatment to weatherproof them and protect against rust. the better quality helmets given this treatment would often have had their sombre appearance relieved by the use of numerous gilded rivet heads. some of the most flamboyantly decorated helmets were produced for the polish winged hussars, with metal crests and enlarged, decoratively shaped, nasals being not uncommon. a number of extant helmets have tubular plume-holders attached, this, taken with the evidence of contemporary illustrations, indicates the use of feather plumes. ~~~ use : this form of helmet was widely used during the thirty years war and english civil war; it was commonly known as a zischã¤gge in germany and a 'horseman's pot' or 'three-barred pot' in britain; the term 'lobster-tailed pot' is widely used in modern scholarship. the typical cavalryman of the period, the harquebusier, would have worn the helmet with a buff coat, bridle-hand gauntlet and breastplate and backplate. it was also sometimes worn by a more heavily armoured type of cavalry, the cuirassier, combined with three-quarter armour. it was used by cavalry on both sides of the english civil war including oliver cromwell's ironside cavalry. the common misconception of cavaliers wearing plumed wide-brimmed hats whilst the roundheads wore helmets is definitively disproved by a surviving order signed by charles i himself for 33 'potts', along with other cavalry armour, for the use of his own troop of horse in 1642. another order, this time from the parliamentarian authorities, dating to 1644 for 300 \"potts with three barres english\" indicates that each helmet, no doubt of basic quality, cost 7 shillings. similar helmets were worn in the 17th century by polish winged hussars and were termed \"szyszak\" in polish, again a derivative of the original turkish name. austrian cuirassiers were equipped with the lobster-tailed pot helmet as late as the 1780s, long after its use had died out elsewhere, when campaigning against the ottoman turks.~~~~~~ dear bidders, please view more detailed close-up images by visiting our website - sofedesignauctions.com ~ thank you ! ~~~~~~. detailed condition reports are not included in this catalog. for additional information, including condition reports, please contact us at info@sofedesignauctions.com"},"estimateMax":2500,"lotNumber":"164","title":{"en":"english cromwellian civil war era cavalry trooper's"},"url":"https://us.bidspirit.com/ui/lotPage/sofedesignauctions/source/catalog/auction/56575/lot/24233/view","tags":["uscollectibles_woaponsandarmor","uscollectibles","uscollectibles_all"],"directSalePrice":750,"fullPriceVat":true,"aiDescription":"This is an English Cromwellian Civil War era cavalry trooper's helmet, made from dark, patinated metal, likely steel.
