Historical Context: Armour as a Symbol of Power
During the 16th century, under the reign of Charles V, armour evolved from purely functional military gear into a "luxury vestment." The Royal Armoury in Madrid houses one of the most magnificent collections of such pieces, which served as the primary inspiration for Marto's designers. In this era, a suit of armour was as much about social status and artistic expression as it was about protection, often featuring intricate engravings and embellishments that showcased a nobleman's wealth and lineage.
Care and Safety Instructions
To ensure your armour remains a stunning centrepiece for years to come, follow these care guidelines:
- Dust the plates regularly with a soft, dry cloth.
- Periodically apply a thin layer of light machine oil or specialized Renaissance wax to protect the steel from moisture and oxidation.
- Keep the display in a dry environment away from direct heat sources.
- Never attempt to wear the armour or use it for sparring – the edges and joints are not designed for human wear and could cause injury or damage to the piece.
To complete your historical display, consider pairing this suit with historical banners or other swords from the Marto collection, such as the Charles V sword (SKU 113.1).
