Knight armor of Charles V, Marto

Although the origin of battle armor dates back to Egyptian times and was developed with the Greeks and Romans, the best-known medieval armor is made of steel or iron plates that are connected to each other by hooks, rivets and pins, straps and buckles were attached.

From the end of the 15th century to the middle of the 16th century, armour became a luxurious garment for the warrior, adorned and decorated with the beauties of sculpture and goldsmithing. As firearms were perfected, from the 18th century onwards, they were used only as incomparable ornaments for castles, palaces, museums and all those places that want to preserve a beautiful historical memory of them.

The Royal Armoury of Madrid houses one of the largest and richest collections of armour in the world, containing mainly pieces from the 16th century of Charles I, from which Marto was inspired to make them in different sizes or scales, the materials used being very similar to the originals: handcrafted iron and steel, brocades that imitate period fabrics and wooden bases that give the metal an ancient patina that precedes it; protecting it from external oxidation.
