As many around the globe await to see what is in their Christmas - TopicsExpress



          

As many around the globe await to see what is in their Christmas stocking, here is a gift that most can only dream of. In 1591 the Electress Sophia of Saxony commissioned the celebrated armourer Anton Peffenhauser. To make tweve armours for her husband, the Elector Christian I. Made in blued steel and etched and gilded, they were magnificent pieces. Unfortunately Christian died in the September of that year and so never received these remarkable gifts. I wish you all a joyful and peaceful holiday season! Merry Xmas!
