About The armor:
It Comes with certificate of SupeinNihonto.
Beautiful Gusoku style samurai armor from the early Edo period or earlier (circa 1600), in an original and rare combination of colors. This armor contains fantastic decorative elements plus an unusual combination of colors with red and black plus green details which makes it stand out from the others. The armor is complete and matched, which is rare as many old armors were created from different pieces. As you can see there are many details such as the sakura flower in relief on the Do (chest) the golden symbols on the shoulder pads (sode) or the numerous elements with chain mail, something rare in the armor of the time because of its high cost and manufacturing time but that protected better than other materials from cuts and sword penetrations. This armor is a great choice for collectors as it combines a very good antique and historical value with a very elegant and striking style.
Includes its antique 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.
