Victorian suit of armor with closed helmet, showing full articulation and forging to the metal. The suit measures 68" in height not including base, base approximately 10". The armor shows nicely made gauntlets witharticulated fingers, elaborate leg defenses, good esthetics; very good quality antique workmanship of the 19th century. Most interesting is the suit shows lamination and legitimate aging. This suit is 100 to 150years old and is a very good looking decorator that would fool most collectors. The suit has been recently cleaned, strapped, re-hung with a good quality base added. Authentic armor was so rare that severalfirms manufactured it in the 19th century to replace suits in castles and the great halls of Europe. A Victorian era broadsword is included and displays with the suit nicely. Est.: $5,000-$10,000
