Description

This pair of steel gauntlets is crafted in the Gothic style, reflecting the dramatic and functional armor designs of the 16th and early 17th centuries. Made in the 19th century as reproductions or ceremonial pieces, they combine both protective utility and elaborate ornamentation.

These gauntlets serve as enduring symbols of Europe’s chivalric and military traditions.
