15th Century Hourglass Gauntlets - 16 Gauge Polished Steel with Integrated Leather Gloves and Brass Details

15th Century Hourglass Gauntlets - 16 Gauge Polished Steel with Integrated Leather Gloves and Brass Details

Modeled after authentic 15th-century European cavalry armor, these hourglass gauntlets were a key component of protection on late medieval battlefields. Popular from the late 13th to the mid-14th centuries, hourglass gauntlets take their name from the elegantly flared cuff that resembles the shape of an hourglass, designed not only for aesthetic refinement but also to enhance wrist flexibility and hand mobility in combat.

This design, worn by nobles, knights, and elite infantry, offered an ideal combination of protection and dexterity during the transitional period of Gothic armor. This particular version features fully articulated finger segments, hand-forged rivets for movement, and a wide, flared cuff that helps deflect blows from swords and clubs.

Crafted from 16-gauge polished steel, each gauntlet includes integrated full-grain leather gloves, stitched directly to the metal shell for comfort, grip, and ease of use. The fingers are separately riveted and allow basic flex for holding a sword, polearm, or shield.

Whether you're creating a full chivalric display or looking for realistic medieval gauntlets that balance form and function, this princely pair offers equal parts authenticity and craftsmanship.

IDEAL FOR:

Display as part of a late medieval armour set

Functional use for traditional martial arts or historical interpretation

Unique collector's gift for medieval weapons enthusiasts

Decorative centerpiece for interiors or exhibitions with a chivalric theme

CARE INSTRUCTIONS:

Regularly apply a light coat of oil to metal parts to prevent rust (especially around joints).

Leather Care: Condition gloves with natural leather balm.

After use: Dry both the steel and leather surfaces to prevent moisture buildup.

Storage: Store on a wooden stand or soft padding in a dry place to prevent deformation or corrosion.
