Gauntlets & Components

Early Full Plate Gauntlets

c. 1340

 

Copied from an effigy of a member of the Leverick family in Ash Church, Kent, these are probably the earliest known examples of full plate gauntlets. They are very comfortable to wear, offer great protection for the hand and wrist, and are an interesting alternative to hourglass gauntlets.

Gorget

late 16th century

Protecting the neck adequately while allowing freedom of movement was always a problem, so by the 16th century the gorget was developed. This style was common in the latter half of the 16th century and beginning of the 17th. Eventually, the gorget was the only piece of armour worn. Made of sixteen gauge steel.
