Product description

The breastplate protects the front of the torso and forms the core of plate armor. Around the year 1000, solid plates had disappeared from Europe and knights wore mainly a chainmail shirt over a padded gambeson. It wasn't until around 1340 that the breastplate returned, first made of wrought iron and later of steel. In the 16th century, officers and nobles often had their breastplates richly decorated with etching.

This breastplate is handmade from steel and etched across the entire front with foliate designs in vertical bands, in the style of 16th-century ornamental armor. This is the breastplate only, without a back plate.

A fine piece for collectors, re-enactors and theater makers with an interest in the Renaissance.
