Description
More Less

Historical Context & Origin

Region: Europe (likely Central/Northern European workshop)
Material: Forged and riveted steel
Period: 19th Century (in 16th–17th-century style)

Description
An articulated right-hand steel gauntlet constructed with a flared cuff, three wrist lames, overlapping hand plates, and a hinged thumb defense. Made in the historical style of late-medieval/early-modern battlefield gauntlets, this arsenal example was produced in the 19th century for armories, military academies, or grand house displays. The plates articulate smoothly, offering a convincing study piece with strong visual presence.

Features

- Right-hand gauntlet with flared forearm cuff

- Overlapping riveted lames across hand and fingers for articulation

- Hinged multi-plate thumb defense present

- Rolled/turned edges at cuff; uniform domed rivets and burrs

- Dark age patina with honest wear, suitable for display

Cultural Significance
During the 19th century, Europe saw a resurgence of interest in chivalric arms and armor. Workshops produced high-quality revival pieces—often using traditional techniques—to outfit castles, museums, and military collections. This gauntlet represents that era’s craftsmanship and fascination with earlier martial traditions.

Condition
Well-preserved antique condition with expected oxidation, pitting, scratches, and remnants of old blackened finish. Interior shows brazed cuff seam and stable peened rivets. Articulation remains functional; minor age-related abrasions throughout.

Dimensions (approximate)
Length: 15 in
Width: 7 in

Age
19th Century (in 16th–17th-century style)
