17th Century War
Suit of Armor
The “Armour of War” is defined as the type of armour for combat that
afforded protection to the vital areas of the body, yet was light weight and
comfortable enough as not to tire a knight, nor constrict his freedom of
movement in battle.
This incredible articulated wearable suit of reproduction War Armour of
Milanese design is made in Italy, the renown hub for armour manufacturing
during the middle ages. The steel has been treated to create an antiqued
"rust" finish that not only has a look of authenticity but is historical.
Armour used in battle was often darkened so that it would not “shine” in
light, as to keep a knight from becoming a glistening target for the enemy.
It also afforded protection for the metal in wet battlefield conditions. This
armour is is a true site to behold, as it stands about 6-1/2 foot in height
on its hardwood base. A glorious armour for all historians and “warriors” at
heart!
