Black Baron’s Hourglass Gauntlets – 16-Ga -Blued Steel - Brass Trim - Pair

Built for reenactment, stage, LARP, and display, these fingered gauntlets marry rugged construction with high Gothic flair. The plates are riveted and blued for a dramatic black sheen, then bordered and accented in polished brass. Well-articulated fingers bend naturally for weapon handling, and the hourglass cuffs overlap cleanly with your vambraces. Inside, the suede leather glove is backed with stitched leather along the fingers to minimize chafing against the lames, while a palm strap and wrist closures keep everything synchronized with your grip. Faceted, raised pyramidal knuckles add period character and additional reinforcement where it counts.

Late-15th-century hourglass gauntlets evolved in German and Central European workshops, where blued steel and brass appliqué were popular finishes for high-status harness. Fingered gauntlets offered superior dexterity over mitten styles, distributing impact across multiple lames while retaining precise control of sword, polearm, or reins.
