Armour - Renaissance Style - Italy - 20th century

Complete wearable medieval armor mounted on a wooden stand, handcrafted in the early 20th century. Immerse yourself in the magnificence of the past knightly era with this extraordinary life-size knight armor, inspired by Italian armors from the late 15th to early 16th century, the golden age of chivalry and European armorcraft. Made entirely of polished steel, this exceptionally high-quality suit captures the essence of Renaissance elegance, blending aesthetic value with historical fidelity. Ideal for collectors, museums, display environments, or to add a touch of style to any setting where it is placed. Helmet with moveable visor, complete with air vents for breathing and vision, with a decorative rear plume of real ostrich feathers!

Articulated pauldrons enabling full mobility in battle, joined by gauntlets and finely worked gloves with inner leather protections. Fully protective greaves and sabatons, mounted on a solid wooden base that ensures stability and stage presence. The knight wields a decorative, non-edged halberd (not a real weapon).
