Mild Steel Duke of Burgundy Suit of Armour – 75” – 18 Gauge Polished Medieval Full Body Armour

Step into the late medieval age with this extraordinary Duke of Burgundy Suit of Armour, a faithful tribute to the full harnesses worn by noblemen and knights of the 15th century. The Duchy of Burgundy was one of Europe’s most powerful realms during the Late Middle Ages, and its ruling dukes—especially Philip the Good and Charles the Bold—commissioned armour of outstanding sophistication and artistry.

This suit draws inspiration from surviving examples of Burgundian Gothic plate armour, which became prominent around 1450–1480. These harnesses were renowned for their elegant fluted lines, articulated lames on the arms and legs, and fully enclosing visored helmets, all designed to balance protection with mobility.

Crafted from 18-gauge mild steel and meticulously polished to a bright sheen, this set comprises a visored helmet pierced for ventilation, robust pauldrons, articulated rerebraces, couters, vambraces, gauntlets, a sturdy breastplate and backplate, tassets, cuisses, greaves, and riveted sabatons. It also includes an ornamental sword and a handsome wooden stand, making it ready for distinguished display. Whether placed in a grand hall, study, or collection room, this imposing 75-inch suit of armour embodies the spirit of Burgundian chivalry and European martial splendor.
