Show Your Armour to the World
This armour stand is designed to provide the perfect support and presentation for a complete harness, but it also serves excellently for displaying individual pieces such as a cuirass, pauldrons, or a helmet.
- Sturdy Construction: The frame is crafted from durable 18-gauge steel (approx. 1.2 mm), which can easily support the weight of a full steel armour set and ensures long-lasting durability.
- Stable Base: A heavy and wide base made of high-quality hardwood with an elegant finish provides maximum stability and prevents tipping.
- Thoughtful Design: The stand features a top mount for a helmet, shoulder supports, and several adjustable hooks on the sides, where you can hang arm and leg armour. This allows you to customise the arrangement to perfectly fit the type and size of your harness.
Where Can It Be Used?
This versatile stand is the ideal choice for:
- Museums and galleries for a professional presentation of historical exhibits.
- Re-enactors and swordsmen who need a practical solution for storing and displaying their gear.
- Collectors who want to properly showcase their valuable pieces.
- Retail spaces selling medieval equipment and replicas.
Armour as a Symbol of Power and Wealth
During the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, a suit of plate armour was not just protective gear for the battlefield but also a clear symbol of social status, wealth, and power. Nobles commissioned beautifully decorated, custom-made suits of armour that were works of art in their own right. After their military service, these armours were often displayed in ancestral homes, castle halls, and armouries on wooden mannequins. They served as a reminder of the heroic deeds of ancestors and a demonstration of the family's might. This modern stand continues the centuries-old tradition of presenting armour as a treasured artefact.

How to Care for the Stand
To ensure your stand serves you for as long as possible and continues to look great, we recommend following a few simple guidelines. Regularly wipe the steel parts with a dry cloth to prevent rust. You can occasionally apply a light coat of conservation oil. Polish the wooden base with a suitable furniture polish to maintain its shine and colour. Store the stand in a dry environment. Periodically check that all fittings and screws are tight.
Please note: Do not expose the stand to direct rain or high humidity, as this could cause the steel parts to rust and damage the wooden base. Do not use aggressive chemical cleaners.
