Milanese Suit of Armour

This is a classic example of 15th-century Milanese full harness, a style that reflects both the battlefield realities and the advanced armour-making traditions of northern Italy.

Milanese armour is immediately recognisable by its robust, rounded forms and broad, smooth surfaces. These shapes were not just aesthetic, they were a practical response to evolving weapons. Armourers deliberately created curved plates with generous glancing angles so that sword cuts, polearm strikes, and even early projectile impacts were more likely to deflect rather than bite directly into the metal. This approach contrasts with the sharper, more angular lines seen in later German Gothic armour.

Northern Italy, especially the workshops of Milan, was one of Europe’s most important armour-producing regions during the 1400s. Milanese armour was widely exported and highly prized by knights and men-at-arms across Europe, valued for its balance of protection, durability, and relatively restr...

Takeda Shingen Kabuto

The Takeda Shingen Kabuto captures the commanding presence of one of Japan’s most respected daimyo. More than an impressive helmet, it represents leadership, discipline, and the refined artistry of the Sengoku period. Whether displayed as the centrepiece of a collection or worn for living history, this kabuto carries the unmistakable spirit of the samurai age.

Inspired by Takeda Shingen, often called the Tiger of Kai, this design reflects a leader known not only for strategy, but for governance, loyalty, and order within his province. In feudal Japan, a kabuto was a powerful symbol of rank and identity, instantly recognizable and deeply personal to its owner.

This museum quality reproduction is handcrafted by Hanwei using antique finished red steel, detailed cotton lacing, gold plated accents, and a striking horsehair plume. A leather interior allows it to be comfortably worn, while the included wooden stand makes it ideal for display in any historical or Japanese...

The Askeaton Early Viking Sword

The Askeaton Early Viking Sword draws its character from an original early Viking Age find near Askeaton in County Limerick, and this detail shot highlights the thoughtful craftsmanship that defines the piece. The proportions are compact and purposeful, reflecting an early design philosophy where comfort, control, and agility mattered just as much as presence.

The grip is finished using a historically accurate wet-wrap process, where cord is wrapped tightly over damp leather and removed once dry. The result is subtle dimpling that adds texture, visual depth, and an unmistakably authentic feel. Decorative spacers between the guard, grip, and pommel add another layer of historical interest, a rare feature seen on very few surviving examples from this period.

Developed in collaboration with Matt Easton and Windlass Steelcrafts, the Askeaton captures the transitional character of early Viking swords, practical, restrained, and built for movement rather than ornament a...

Roman Helmet (Galea)

Take a closer look at one of the most iconic pieces of Roman history, the Roman Helmet (Galea). More than just armour, these helmets were a blend of function, craftsmanship, and unmistakable style, instantly recognizable on battlefields, in films, and across ancient reliefs.

Roman legion helmets generally followed two main traditions. The Imperial Italic style, often produced by Gaulish smiths, was practical and effective, while the Imperial Gallic style, crafted by skilled Celtic metalworkers, stood out for its higher level of refinement. These Gallic helmets are easy to spot thanks to their distinctive embossed eyebrows across the brow, along with richer decorative details throughout the design.

The galea was thoughtfully engineered for protection and comfort. Features like hinged cheek guards, a sloped and ribbed neck guard, and reinforced edges helped shield the wearer while allowing good visibility and movement. This reproduction carries those classic element...
