SUIT OF ARMOR

A suit of armor is more than a decoration; it symbolizes history, chivalry and honor.

Medieval knights wore full suits of armour, which left no body part exposed, also carrying swords and shields. The armor had to be flexible for free movement, and lightweight (20-30 pounds) and had specific decorative meanings at the same time. Ensuring the armor encompassed all these qualities set the Spanish craftsmen’s apart from other armor makers. A knight’s life depended not only on his skill in battle but also on his armored protection. The craftsmen that could provide this skilled service were always in high demand. The Spanish were known to be superior both in the art of crafting strong and impenetrable armor and in embossing beautiful and intricate designs. Our medieval replica armor follows the original designs of the kings and knights of medieval Europe.

Our superb reproduction suits of armor are crafted by master craftsman in Toledo Spain, keeping to their age-old tradition of creating Armor. Decorative and authentic styled middle age armor will enhance the look of any room, office or bar and is perfect for the antique collector and medieval enthusiasts alike.

Our suits of armor come unadorned, inscribed and embossed, each carries a period sword and shield.
