Description from the seller

Full medieval wearable armor, mounted on a wooden stand, handmade in the early 20th century.

Immerse yourself in the magnificence of the knightly past with this extraordinary life-size knight armor, inspired by Italian late 15th - early 16th century armors, the golden age of chivalry and European armour art. Made entirely of polished steel, this suit of exceptional quality captures the essence of Renaissance elegance, blending aesthetic value with historical fidelity.

Ideal for collectors, museums, exhibition spaces or to add a touch of style to any environment where it is placed.

Helmet with movable visor, complete with breathing and vision slits, with decorative rear plume of real ostrich feathers! Breastplate and back bulged, with curves designed to deflect blows and gleaming reflections that confer grandeur and authority to the figure. Articulated spaulders that allow full mobility in battle, joined by gauntlets and gloves finely worked with inner leather protections. Cuisses and greaves fully protective, mounted on a solid wooden base that ensures stability and stage presence. The knight wields a halberd (decorative and not sharp, it is not a real weapon).

Coming from private collection, in a noble residence near Florence.

In overall good condition, bearing the passage of time with slight signs of wear that, however, do not prejudice the beauty, form, and integrity of this unique piece.
Please note that, being antique items, they may present slight imperfections or signs of their long journey through the years. We believe these imperfections add authentic character and special charm to each piece. To ensure a full view of the items, please carefully examine the photos provided, as these are an integral part of the item description.

Dimensions: 190 cm height x 80 cm width. Total weight about 35 kg.
