About The armor:
It Comes with certificate of SupeinNihonto.
Classical armour from the Edo period matched. All parts are original and matched from early to mid Edo period so its a very antique armor weared by authentic samurais, something rare in the market due to its age. The armour has a beautiful and remarkable combination of black lacquer elegance and blue cordage that stands out. It also retains interesting elements such as the orange laces on the chest, the belt (later) and gold patterns on the bottom of the skirt, something that only had superior quality armor because the cost of adding the gold used to be very expensive. The armour has a kabuto zunari with maedate, do, suneate and the rest of the components. This is an antique armour with some battle and transport damage, as most of the armours we sell at Supein Nihonto are completely original from the Edo period and not the classic replicas from the taisho, showa and later periods which although decorative, do not have the historical value nor were they worn by authentic samurais.
Includes its box for transport and exhibition and a stand to assemble the armor.
As is normal in a suit of armor with so much history, which was undoubtedly used for combat and is not a mere reproduction of the 20th century, it has some superficial scratches, surface damage and chips that show that it had a long life of combat and retains an authentic and precious historical value worthy of a museum. This exclusive piece is making it an incredible opportunity for any collector of Japanese, war or simply historical art to get their hands on a piece that will attract attention wherever it is displayed, from offices, to private homes, offices or restaurants and will give a regal look to any place. The armour has gilded details that show the quality of the piece. The incredible workmanship accentuates such ornate pieces as the kabuto, the mempo and the Do. The stand to assemble it and the box are included. This armour is sure to delight any collector of Asian art and will be the focal point of any visitor’s home, shop or office. There is a very ancient object and there are damaged by time and tears. Due to the delicacy of continuous assembly and disassembly, returns are not allowed on old armor.
