  Economy Gothic Full Plate Armour

  SKU: AH6007E

  Gothic plate armour is the German style of full body harness that emerged in the 15th century, its fluted ridges and curved surfaces drawing directly on the pointed forms of Gothic architecture and art of the period. Produced in armouring centres such as Augsburg, Nuremberg and Landshut, it reached its peak in the 1480s, when it was considered among the finest and most technically advanced armour in Europe. This economy version offers the same complete harness system in a more accessible build, suited to those assembling a first full kit or working to a tighter budget.

  French Medieval Full Harness

  SKU: AH6001

  French knights and men-at-arms fought in plate harness through the same broad period as their German and Italian counterparts, from the Hundred Years’ War through to the close of the medieval period. This full harness recreates that general late-medieval French style of armour, built as a complete head-to-toe system rather than a single isolated piece. French armour of this era shared much of its construction technique with neighbouring traditions while developing its own regional detailing and proportions.

  Sir Lancelot-Style Wearable Armour, with Stand

  SKU: AH6000

  This wearable suit of armour takes its inspiration from the knightly harness of the 15th and 16th centuries, the period Sir Thomas Malory is thought to have drawn on when writing Le Morte d’Arthur, his account of Lancelot and the Round Table. Fully articulated and constructed from steel with adjustable leather straps, it is designed to actually be worn rather than serve purely as static display. Ideally suited to a wearer of average build, roughly 5’10” to 6’2″ tall, it comes complete with its own steel stand and wooden base for display between wearings.
