14th century hourglass gauntlets

A design that gained prominence during the Gothic period of medieval Europe. Known for their distinctive flared cuffs and fully articulated construction, hourglass gauntlets became the gold standard for hand protection for knights, soldiers, and men-at-arms by the late 14th century.

Made in

16 gauge tempered steel

These gauntlets feature

overlapping finger plates, called lames

firmly riveted to a supple leather base. This articulated design ensures not only protection but also

remarkable flexibility of the fingers

This articulated design ensures not only protection, but also remarkable finger flexibility, allowing users to maintain a firm grip on weapons or shields during training or live demonstrations.

Wide, flared cuffs—shaped like an hourglass—are more than just stylish. They serve a vital function:

deflect blows from the wrist and forearm

a crucial improvement over previous gauntlet-style gauntlets. The inside of each cuff is coated with

black anti-corrosion treatment

providing long-lasting protection against rust and moisture, even during regular field use.

Inside, each gauntlet is lined with

red stitched leather

and a

soft suede inner glove

providing comfort, grip and historical character. A

leather strap on the palm

helps to hold the gauntlet firmly to the hand, ensuring stability during movement or combat.

Whether you're a history buff, a live-action role-player, or a collector of fine medieval gear, these Hourglass Gauntlets offer an ideal blend of authentic craftsmanship, battlefield utility, and Gothic-era design.
