Pewter Crusader Knight on Horseback
We present a masterful miniature of a medieval knight that will delight any collector of historical figurines. This Crusader is captured in a calm yet majestic trot on his steed. His head is protected by a "great helm" (bucket helm) with a narrow vision slit and a gold cross on the forehead, typical armour of the 12th and 13th centuries. The knight, clad in chainmail and a surcoat, does not have a weapon drawn, but a scabbard with a sword hangs at his hip, ready for battle. The horse is protected by a long caparison (cloth covering) decorated with gold cross symbols that match the knight's gear. Further product information ...
Pewter Crusader Knight on Horseback – With Great Helm
The Charm of Pewter Alloy
The figurine is cast in pewter – a traditional hard alloy of tin, antimony, and copper. This material gives the statue a pleasant weight and a metallic sheen that develops a noble patina over time. The hand-painting combines the natural silver colour of the metal with gold accents on the horse's harness, crosses, and armour trim. Details such as the texture of the chainmail on the knight's arms or the folds of the fabric on the caparison are modelled with maximum precision.

Caring for Your Pewter Statue
Pewter figurines are durable but require gentle handling:
- Cleaning: Remove dust with a soft brush. To restore shine, use a soft cloth, or lukewarm soapy water if necessary (dry immediately).
- Handling: Be careful with thin parts like the reins or the sword scabbard. Tin is softer than steel.
- Placement: Do not expose to direct radiant heat.
