Milanese Armor Ref: CI-AB0063
This ‘Milanese’ full-harness displays the characteristic robust and rounded appearance of armor produced in northern Italy throughout the 15th century. Armor of this type incorporates large and smooth glancing surfaces in its construction, the theory being that these rounded surfaces would help to deflect an opponent's weapons. The embossed ridges and fluting that typify armour of the Gothic style are generally absent in Milanese style armor. Other typical Milanese features include mail sabatons (foot protection) and mitten gauntlets. Many of the parts that compose our Milanese armor, including the T-face barbute helm, are based on the ‘Avant’ armor that is housed in the Kelvingrove Museum, Glasgow. This near-complete harness was made at the Corio workshop in Milan, and dates from around 1440.

Included with the armor are the mail skirt, standard and voiders pictured, featuring wedge rivets and flattened-ring construction. Handmade of 16ga. high-carbon steel.

Price: $2,299.00 (Excluding MA Sales Tax at 5%)
