17th Century Knights Armor
Throughout the centuries, the two great centers of armour
manufacturing remained in Italy and Germany wherein talented craftsmen
created armour for Nobility. Italian armour was highly prized for superior
style and Germany for incredible detailing, it is no wonder that the
workshops of the time copied the best features and styles of each other and
by the 16th century, Germans had adopted the full rounded outlines of Italian
armour while the Italians took note of the decorative designs and
characteristics popular with German armour. Our superior reproduction 17th
century full suit of plate Armour boasts a basinet style helm and smooth
plates,
utilizing the artistry of both great armour centers and is crafted in the
styling tradition of those master craftsmen who created the originals for
kings and knights throughout Europe. See the difference between this suit of
armour from Italy and others made elsewhere, there is no comparison. This
Life size and wearable articulated Suit of Armour is made of steel and stands
about 6-1/2 foot high to top of helm on its own wood base (as shown)
and comes complete with sword.
