A GREEK BRONZE PSEUDO-CORINTHIAN HELMET, MAGNA GRAECIA, CIRCA LATE 6TH CENTURY-5TH CENTURY B.C., with everted rear flange, with moulded eyebrows extending into a ridge around the crown of the head, with false eye-holes and short nose-guard, two plume holders riveted on either side of the crown, 21.5cm high, 21cm wide, 33cm deepFootnotes:Provenance:Axel Guttmann (1944-2001) collection, Berlin (AG 435/H 132), acquired in 1993 in Krefeld. Antiquities from the Axel Guttmann Collection and Other Properties; Hermann Historica, Munich, 18 April 2008, lot 317.The Pseudo-Corinthian helmet was developed in Italy during the 6th-early 4th Centuries B.C., using the Corinthian helmet as a model. With a more decorative purpose, the Italian type was worn on top of the head, like a cap, making the functional characteristics of the eye holes and nose guard purely decorative as the eye-holes later become smaller and closer together and the separation of the cheek guards disappears. The above helmet would be considered a Type B helmet as there is a small bridge connecting the cheek pieces. For a similar helmet see the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, acc. no. 2003.407.4. See also A. Bottini et al., Antike Helme. Sammlung Lipperheide und Andere Bestände des Antikenmuseums Berlin, Mainz, 1998, pp. 107-136 for further discussion on the different classifications of this helmet type.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

The house was redecorated in the post-war era by the aesthete, architect and former Surveyor of the King’s Works of Art, Gerald Wellesley (1885-1972), 7th Duke of Wellington. In the early part of the 20th century, Wellesley was intimately linked with collectors and connoisseurs responsible for ensuring the Regency style of decoration remained in vogue. This particular style was known as ‘Vogue Regency’ and found its singular expression in the interiors for Ralph Dutton, 8th Lord Sherborne (1898-1985) at Hinton Ampner, Hampshire. Lord Gerald Wellesley and the architect Trenwith Wills, guided the original alterations to the house which were carried out in 1936 and the post-1960 fire redecoration.
