Floral Ornament in Armor
Decorated armor is not only a fantasy idea. In the 15th and 16th centuries, the best armorers of Italy and Germany covered parade and field armor with etched, embossed, and gilded ornament: scrolling vines, leaves, flowers, and figures. Such armor showed the wealth and taste of its owner as much as it protected him. Our Flower Knight line takes this tradition of ornate Renaissance armor and pushes it further into fantasy, with raised flowers and vines that grow over every plate.
Flower Knight and Flower Maiden
The line has two branches that share one ornament and one palette of dark metal and antique silver:
Sallet or Morion
The line has two helmets with the same floral ornament. The Flower Knight Sallet Helmet is closed and battle-ready, with a long tail that protects the neck. The Flower Knight Morion Helmet is open and keeps the face visible, which many players prefer for roleplay and for female characters. The morion fits a head circumference up to 65 cm, the sallet up to 60 cm.
Where to Start
Start with the body armor that fits your figure, the cuirass or the Flower Maiden armor, and add the pauldrons next: together they already create the floral knight silhouette. Then add bracers, tassets, greaves, and a helmet. If you want the whole look at once, a full set always costs less than the same pieces bought one by one.
Elven Variations
For an elven character, combine Flower Knight pieces with our leaf-themed tassets: the Ironvine Tassets with raised vines or the Crownleaf Tassets with a crown motif. The Flower Armor Rondel and a Medieval Ranger Hood complete the look. More ideas in Elven LARP Armor.
Colors
The standard finish is dark metal with antique silver, but the raised flowers look striking in other palettes too: gold on black for a royal knight, bronze on dark green for a forest guardian, or white and silver for a holy warrior. Repainting is free; tell us your colors in the order note.
Equip a Whole Court
A court guard or an order in matching Flower Knight and Flower Maiden armor looks elegant and united. We accept group orders and offer discounts for LARP teams and organizers. Write to info@larpshopkeeper.com with the number of players and the pieces you need.
Original Designs
The Flower Knight line is designed in our own workshop. We do not copy designs from games, films, or books. It is inspired by ornate Renaissance armor, nature, and the fantasy genre as a whole. See also Women's LARP Armor and Paladin LARP Armor.
