Description
When thinking of medieval suits of armour, the knights of the Crusades and the Norman Conquest of England are perhaps the most popular images that come to mind. Or maybe for you it’s the legendary figures of King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table? And, of course, there are the recent additions in popular culture, the knights of “Game of Thrones”: Jaime Lannister, Brienne of Tarth, the Hound, the Mountain and co.
What a feat it must have been to fight for your life in these bulky suits of steel. While designed for defence, one imagines that the armour could also have been as likely to disable an enemy by blinding them with reflecting sunlight, as the accuracy of the knight’s sword or jousting skills!
Vintage World Australia has a carefully curated collection of historical armours and helmets. We ensure that each piece is handcrafted to a premium quality and that they authentically represent the originals suits. Our miniature size Medieval knight suit of armour weighs approximately 10kg and is mounted of a wooden stand for display.
DISCLAIMER: All products on our website are reproductions, inspired by vintage and antique designs and made to closely match the originals. Each item is handmade by master artisans using often centuries old techniques and traditions. As they are handcrafted, no two items will be identical. Some natural variations and imperfections are inherent in the materials and construction processes used, making each item truly unique. In regards to our armour sets and warrior helmets, each item is made by hand using the same techniques that were used hundreds of years ago to make the original pieces. As such, these pieces naturally come in slightly different colours and sizes, and with some natural, unavoidable scratches and embellishments. These differences make these reproductions even more authentic, as no two sets of original armour were ever the same.

Absolutely fabulous. An eye-catching and focal talking-point of interest when anyone comes into the lounge. Wonderful design and craftsmanship. Very fast delivery service, especially just before Christmas. Based on what I see, the other items in the collection of Vintage World will be a spectacular collection of history. Thanks.
