Armet (closed helmet) 15th-16th century

Medieval helmet armet takes its origin in XV century, being designed - as presumed - in Italy. It was distinguished by being the first helmet of this time to protect completely the head, compact and light enough to be carried one. Movable hinged cheek pieces and gorget plate opened backward show the face.

Eye slits and holes on the visor allow a knight to see and breath freely. There are also holes on the sides on ears’ level. Plate bevor (gorget) protects neck and throat.

This made-to-measure Middle Ages helmet is completely handcrafted by our artisans.
