Victorian German Knight Suit of Armor with Rare Caged Visor Helmet & Stand
This highly presentable Victorian era suit of armor was created in the style of a 15th to 16th-century German knight and remains in very good condition. The armor is fully articulated and mounted on its period wooden stand, giving it a complete and commanding display presence. Its most distinctive feature is the closed helmet with a rare caged visor pattern, an unusual and visually striking design that sets the suit apart from more common Victorian armor displays. The total height on stand and height of the knight alone were not provided and may be added when measured. Victorian suits of armor were produced during a period of intense medieval revival, when collectors, museums, estate owners, and decorators sought to recreate the grandeur of late medieval and Renaissance armories. German knightly armor of the 15th and 16th centuries was especially admired for its sculptural plate forms, articulated construction, and imposing battlefield silhouette. Victorian examples, while later in date, became important historical display objects in their own right and were often used to furnish great halls, libraries, galleries, and institutional collections. With its fully articulated construction, period wooden stand, very good condition, and rare caged visor helmet, this suit of armor is a striking centerpiece object. It offers tremendous visual impact for collectors of arms and armor, medieval revival decorative arts, museum displays, and historic interior design. Sword in one picture not included.
