"Cast a helm carelessly upon the bench, and you invite warped brass and crushed arming caps. Treat your steel with the reverence of a veteran." Osric, Keeper of the Hearth & Forge
Forged from solid iron and finished with a resilient matte black powder-coat, this display post is engineered to bear the true burden of battlefield plate. Where timber warps and lesser materials give way, this 1.3-kilogram iron assembly provides an immovable perch for your harness.
At 43.2 centimetres in height, this stand affords critical vertical clearance. Mail aventails, camails, and deep quilted canvas liners fall naturally without bunching along the surface, preventing the premature wear and moisture retention that ruin historical gear. The rounded 13.5-centimetre dome supports the crown evenly, distributing heavy steel weight without creating sharp pressure points that deform raised ridges or delicate skull-caps over seasons of rest. The 14.6-centimetre tiered base firmly roots the assembly, comfortably securing heavy Crusader great helms, Roman gallic patterns, or Viking nasal helms.
Crafted for the travelling reenactor and collector alike, the construction requires neither forge nor wrench. The base, riser, and domed crown thread together smoothly by hand, breaking down swiftly into three compact sections when packing for campaign or tourney.
To maintain the dark ironwork, keep the piece in dry quarters and wipe down the powder-coated surface with a dry, soft cloth after handling. For long-term garrison storage, resting a soft cloth over the dome preserves both finish and interior linings.
