"Antique Copper Diving Helmet – Decorative Industrial Object"
Antique copper and brass diving helmet, dating from the early 20th century, an authentic nautical artifact from the world of underwater and port work. This antique helmet boasts a homogeneous, unrestored original patina, highly sought after in industrial decor. It features a circular front porthole, a cross-shaped side porthole, and an antique threaded air intake fitting, all characteristic of continental productions of this period. The original breastplate is missing, a common occurrence for this type of antique piece, but this does not detract from its decorative and aesthetic appeal. An authentic, unassembled object, it offers a strong visual presence, ideal for loft decor, a cabinet of curiosities, a gallery display, or a contemporary interior with an industrial feel.
