Armour

These are a pair of exquisite Engraved Gauntlets by Marto of Spain. They have been made in highly polished steel and have been embellished with engraved details on the gauntlet forearm and cuff. Gauntlets were a regular part of a knight's armour and provided protection of the hands and arm from debilitating blows, especially when in close combat. This armour is beautifully crafted and adds an authentic touch of history to any display.

The gauntlets or mittens were part of the armor worn by knights of medieval times. They were metal gloves they used to protect their fingers, hands, wrist area and part of the forearm in the bloody battles of the time.

During the 11th and 12th centuries, it consisted of a simple mesh bag with an opening in the fist to reach out the hand. They became leather gloves with an iron rounder over the back and mesh gloves that were buttoned on the sleeve. In the fourteenth century, the fingers are separated, until the middle of the sixteenth century in order to fire the pistol grip.

In many tournament armors of the fifteenth and early sixteenth century the left hand had mittens of fingers separated and the right hand, for the spear, defended by a mitten.

The Spanish Horse Helmet of the 16th century by Marto is a replica reproduction of helmets used by mounted knights during the reign of Charles V and Philip II, today part of the collection of the Royal Armory in Madrid.

The Spanish Horse Helmet is made of steel and characterized by a large beak-shaped visor that covers the face entirely leaving only the two eye-slits open. With a gorget depicting golden floral motifs and a visor enriched by etchings, this helmet is as much an artistic piece as it is representative of the helmets used during the 16th century.

Comes with two coloured ostrich plumes in blue and yellow and a display stand made in steel.
