Europe, Late Middle Ages to Renaissance, ca. 1400 to 1600 CE. A beautifully-preserved chain mail Gauntlets of Mail, in mitten form, made of thousands of interlinked rings of iron. Although the rings were relatively easy to produce, the process of interlocking them was incredibly labor-intensive and even a gauntlet - a small component of a full mail uniform - would have taken many hours to create. Owning mail covering for hands was a sign of a wealthier knight, who could afford specialized mail covers for the feet, arms, legs, and neck in addition to the usual shirt.
Circa: 1400 to 1600.
Origin: Europe.
Material: Chain Mail.
Note: The Gauntlets of Mail are attached to an chain in order to be hung on the wall. But if you want, you can remove the chain to display them however you wish.
Item condition: Some loose components along the bottom of the gauntlets as shown in photographs. Some rings are bent. Some rusty signs, with excellent movement of the chain rings. Age weathered surfaces. Condition is appropriate for age and use. See photos for complete assessment.
Dimensions of each one:
Height: 9.44 inches
Width: 8.26 inches
Depth: 0.59 inches
