70cm Duke of Burgundy Suit of Armour, stainless steel

Miniature Knight Full Suit of Armour, Polished Stainless Steel

Historical Context and Gothic Armouring Craft

This miniature knight armour serves as a faithful tribute to the full plate harnesses worn by European noblemen and heavy cavalrymen during the 14th and 15th centuries. During this golden age of Gothic craftsmanship, full steel protection reached its absolute zenith. A full harness was meticulously engineered to provide the ultimate balance between maximum protection against period weapons and complete battlefield mobility. Every single plate of this scaled display piece is carefully shaped, riveted, and polished to mirror the historical techniques of medieval armourers. The harness showcases a fully enclosing helmet with a movable visor and ventilation holes, robust pauldrons, articulated arm and leg defences, and gauntlets gripping a miniature version of a classic medieval longsword.

The product comes fully assembled on its elegant wooden base, making installation completely effortless for you. Simply unbox the miniature and place it on your desk, mantelpiece, or display cabinet. It will instantly function as an excellent conversation starter for your guests, who will appreciate your passion for history, HEMA martial arts, or fantasy lore.

Technical Parameters of the Miniature

Care and Safety Principles

This decorative miniature is designed for visual enjoyment and indoor prestige. To ensure it serves you for many years and maintains its dazzling appearance, we recommend following these guidelines:

• Indoor Display Only: Keep the miniature in a dry indoor environment and protect it from excessive moisture or condensation.
• Proper Handling: When moving or adjusting the item, always hold it by the solid wood base or stand to avoid leaving oily fingerprints on the highly polished steel plates.
• Cleaning and Maintenance: For regular dust removal, wiping gently with a soft, dry microfiber cloth is sufficient. For deeper cleaning or restoring the shine, use a mild polishing compound designed for stainless steel.

Important Safety Warning:

As this is a scaled decorative model, this product is under no circumstances intended to be used as protective gear and is entirely unsuitable for any full-contact combat such as Buhurt, Battle of the Nations, stage fighting, or high-impact HEMA tournaments. The miniature contains small and sharp metal edges; handle it with care and keep it out of reach of small children to prevent injury. Remember that for the comfortable wearing of actual full-sized historical harnesses, knights always strictly required a thick padded underlayer—a quilted gambeson, an arming doublet, and padded chausses—to protect the body from the heavy pressure of the steel plates.

Recommended Accessories

If this detailed miniature inspires you to experience medieval history firsthand, or if you are considering acquiring a full-sized harness for 15th-century re-enactment, we highly recommend checking out our range of authentic under-armour garments, including a heavy-duty gambeson or a padded arming coif. To maintain the pristine mirror shine of this stainless steel display piece, a high-quality microfiber cloth is an excellent choice for scratch-free maintenance.
