Universal Metal Armour Stand with Wooden Pedestal

Universal Metal Armour Stand with Wooden Pedestal

The stand is designed with an emphasis on functionality, stability, and versatility to suit a wide range of armour types.

Stable and Robust Construction

The main structure of the stand is made from sturdy metal (steel) tubes, which are black-painted for increased corrosion resistance and an elegant appearance. The connection of the individual parts is designed for easy assembly and disassembly, which you will appreciate, for example, when transporting it to events. The massive wooden pedestal ensures that the stand will remain firmly in place and can securely hold even heavier armour pieces.

Universal Design

Thanks to its full size and thoughtfully designed supports, the stand is suitable for displaying various types of armour – whether it's medieval plate armour, Viking chainmail, or LARP leather armour. The shaped shoulder supports and other supportive elements allow for a natural hanging of cuirasses, pauldrons, and other components.

From the History of Storing and Displaying Armour

In times when armour was a common part of a warrior's equipment, its proper storage was crucial for maintaining its functionality. Knights and nobles often had special stands or mannequins made for their armouries or castle halls. These not only served for practical storage but also demonstrated the wealth and power of the owner. A meticulously maintained and displayed suit of armour was a testament to its wearer.

Interesting Fact: Armour as a Work of Art

Many historical suits of armour, especially those belonging to nobility, were not just functional protection but also true works of art. They were adorned with engravings, etchings, or gilding. Displaying such armour on a quality stand highlights its aesthetic value and allows one to admire the craftsmanship of its creators.
