Armand d'Hubert's (Keith Carradine) costume from Ridley Scott's historical drama The Duellists. D'Hubert wore his costume throughout the film, often donning his officer's uniform for his many meetings with his rival Gabriel Feraud (Harvey Keitel). The film was widely praised for the accuracy of its Napoleonic-era uniforms. This lot comes from the archives of the Italian costume company Costumi d'Arte.

The costume comprises a faux-fur-trimmed grey outer jacket; a grey inner jacket; a pair of grey trousers; a decorative red belt; and a shako hat. Both jackets and the trousers have "Carradine" handwritten on labels, and the inner jacket and trousers are both labelled size "46". The outer jacket features tassel details and silver-corded detailing down the front. The shako is lined with foam and features a metal insignia on the front engraved with the number "3" and an image of an eagle. It also has metal chin scales, a blue, red and white cockade, and decorative rope details. There is a small hole in the top of the shako.

Additional Provenance: This lot comes from the archives of the famed Italian costume company Costumi d'Arte. The company has been supplying some of the biggest film productions in the world with costumes for over 100 years.
