14th Century Medieval Hourglass Gauntlets - 16-Gauge Steel Articulated Knight Gloves - Authentic Gothic Hand Protection Armor
Step into the armor of history with these gauntlets
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 in the late 14th century.
Crafted from
16-gauge tempered steel
these gauntlets feature
overlapping finger plates, called lames
firmly riveted to a flexible leather base. This articulated design ensures not only protection but also
remarkable finger flexibility
This articulated design ensures not only protection, but also remarkable finger flexibility, allowing wearers to maintain a firm grip on weapons or shields during training or live demonstrations.
The wide, flared cuffs—shaped like an hourglass—are more than just elegant. They serve a vital function:
deflecting blows to the wrist and forearm
a crucial improvement over earlier mitten-style gauntlets. The interior of each cuff is coated with
black anti-corrosion treatment
which provides long-lasting protection against rust and moisture, even during regular use in the field.
On the inside, each gauntlet is lined with
stitched red leather
and a
soft suede inner glove
which provides comfort, grip, and historical character. A
leather palm strap
helps to secure the gauntlet firmly to the hand, ensuring stability during movement or combat.
Whether you are a history enthusiast, a live-action role-player, or a collector of fine medieval equipment, these hourglass gauntlets offer an ideal blend of authentic craftsmanship, battlefield utility, and Gothic-era design.
authentic craftsmanship, battlefield utility, and Gothic design.
. Pair them with brigandines, chainmail, or full Gothic plate armor to complete a 14th-century armor set.
Care instructions:
Clean after each use
Wipe the surface with a
soft, dry cloth
to remove sweat, fingerprints, or moisture.
Prevent rust and corrosion
Apply a light coat of oil to all metal parts, especially the joints and fingers.
Store in a dry environment
Always store the gloves in a
low-humidity area
preferably wrapped in a cloth or inside a canvas or leather bag.
Leather care
Condition the
inner suede glove and the leather back
occasionally with a specific leather conditioner to prevent them from drying out or cracking.
Avoid soaking or exposure to water
These gloves are not waterproof. If they get wet, dry them immediately with a soft cloth and reapply oil.
Check for loose rivets
Periodically inspect all articulation points to ensure rivets remain tight and secure. Apply gentle pressure to check movement and avoid forcing stiff joints. ⭐
