Milanese Armour

No matter if you are looking to make a statement on the battlefield or in your home, the Milanese Armour is a great choice. Made from 16-gauge steel, this fully wearable garniture features the detailed Milanese style, popular in Italy during the late 15th century. It is based on the Avant armour from 1440 from the Corio suit of armour held at Kelvingrove Museum in Glasgow.

This articulated suit of armour covers a knight from head to toe. It includes a barbute helmet, cuirass, pauldrons, full arm armour, full leg armour, mitten gauntlets, and sabatons. Both the knees and elbows are 14-gauge steel as is the helmet. They feature fins on the sides to protect the joints from attack. In addition to the pieces of plate armour, this suit comes with a chainmail skirt, collar, and voiders. They have wedge-riveted, flat ring constructions.

Finally, this suit of armour comes with a black wooden base and stand. This medieval suit of armour is ideal for wearing to your next historical reenactment or adding to your decor. We offer many of the parts of this suit of armour separately.
