The decorations on both the Musée d'Artillerie set and the set just described, are very characteristic of that which is found on what is usually and rather loosely called "Gothic Armour." That is to say, it consists in fine radiating flutings and channellings, arranged in fan-shaped groups or meeting and verging off at various angles. It was the fashion prevailing in France, to a lesser extent in Italy, in England, and in Germany during the latter part of the XVth century; indeed in the last-named country it remained in vogue for many years later. These two sets might then be either German or French; but we are inclined to consider them as belonging to the latter nationality.
