Lot 12 Medieval armor pieces - Ventral + Dorsal + Gauntlets - Military equipment - 1990

Medieval armor pieces such as ventral (front torso), dorsal (back torso), and gauntlets represent integral elements of personal defense used by knights and soldiers during the Middle Ages. This lot of twelve pieces suggests a collection that could include partial sets of body armor crafted from steel or iron, designed to protect vital areas while allowing mobility in combat. Armor evolved significantly from the early to late medieval periods, with designs focusing on balance between protection, weight, and articulation. Gauntlets, specifically, protected the hands and wrists during close combat. Collectors and reenactors prize such armor for its historical significance and craftsmanship, and replicas or original pieces from the 1990s often reflect traditional armor-making techniques.
