Representing the distinctive style of early 16th-century German armour developed during the reign of Emperor Maximilian I (1459–1519) We have these Maximilian Style Spaulders.
 
Known for the elegant fluting, Maximilian-style harnesses combined the protective qualities of plate armour with the artistic refinement and craftsmanship of the Renaissance period. Popular among wealthy nobles and professional men-at-arms, Maximilian armor featured carefully shaped and articulated plates designed to provide excellent protection while preserving the mobility needed for mounted and foot combat. The characteristic fluted surfaces added visual appeal while also contributing rigidity to the steel, as such they could be made of a thinner material and still be a good armour in the period.
 
These spaulders are handcrafted from 20-gauge mild steel, capturing the delicate lines and intricate articulation associated with Maximilian style armour. Designed to complement a Renaissance harness, they are suitable for living history, display, and collectors seeking historically inspired plate armour.
