Medieval Gold Etched Armour
The Medieval Gold Etched Armour offers a glimpse into the rich history of combat, originating from the Egyptians. As time passed, the Greeks and Romans refined the concept, leading to the medieval armor we recognize today. By the 14th century, this armor, crafted from steel or iron plates and connected with hooks, nuts, and nails, became prominent in Europe. It was secured using straps and clasps, making it effective for both infantry and cavalry. Moreover, by the late 15th century, medieval armor evolved into a luxurious garment, adorned with intricate designs and artistic embellishments. However, as firearms improved in the 17th century, the use of such armor began to decline. By the 18th century, medieval armor primarily served as a decorative piece in castles, palaces, and museums.
In Madrid, the Royal Armoury boasts one of the largest and most impressive collections of armor in the world. This collection includes notable pieces from the 16th century, especially from the era of Carlos I. Marto draws inspiration from these historic artifacts, carefully reproducing them. They use materials similar to the originals, including hand-molded iron and steel. Additionally, they incorporate brocades that imitate period fabrics. Each piece features an “ancient patina” which protects against oxidation and maintains its historical appearance.
