Hardwood Helmet Display Stand – Walnut Finish, Detachable, 18 Inch - Outlet

Hardwood Helmet Display Stand – Walnut Finish, Detachable, 18 Inch

Designed for Helmets with Aventails

Unlike generic stands, this model features a generous height of approximately 17 ⅞ inches (45.5 cm). This extra clearance is crucial if you own a bascinet, Viking spectacle helmet, or any helm with an attached chainmail aventail or camail. It allows the maille to hang naturally without bunching up on the table surface. The domed top plate is shaped to support the helmet liner gently, mimicking the curve of a head to prevent internal deformation.

For the travelling warrior, the stand features a smart detachable design. It easily unscrews into three compact parts without the need for any tools. This makes it incredibly easy to pack into your kit bag for LARP events, Renaissance fairs, or historical reenactments.

Historical Significance

Proper storage of armour was a serious matter in medieval armouries. Leaving steel on damp stone floors or earthen ground was a recipe for rust. Wooden mounts and pegs were used to keep helmets elevated, allowing air to circulate and keeping the metal safe from ground moisture. This stand replicates that practical necessity with a touch of craftsmanship.

Care Instructions

To maintain the rich finish of the wood:

• Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust.
• Avoid storing in direct sunlight or damp conditions to prevent the wood from warping.
• Apply a light furniture polish occasionally to keep the walnut finish looking its best.
