King Arthur Equestrian Statue – Mustard Velvet – Marto
Craftsmanship and Legend
The statue depicts King Arthur in full ceremonial plate armor, topped with a crested Great Helm. He carries a lance with a banner and a sword at his side, ready to defend his realm. The horse is equally majestic, protected by ornate barding. The key aesthetic feature is the genuine velvet caparison in a rich mustard hue.
Embroidered on the fabric and the round shield is the coat of arms featuring three crowns. In Arthurian heraldry, these often symbolize Arthur's sovereignty over the three realms of Logres, Benoic, and Gaul, distinguishing this figure from other knights in the collection. The entire composition rests on a polished wooden base.
Historical and Mythical Context
King Arthur remains one of the most enduring figures in Western literature, symbolizing the ideal Christian knight and king. While his historical existence is debated, his impact on culture is undeniable. The "Three Crowns" coat of arms is a classic example of attributed arms—heraldry assigned to legendary figures by medieval scholars and artists to integrate them into the chivalric tradition.
