KING ARTHUR (2004) - King Arthur's (Clive Owen) Suit of Armour
King Arthur’s (Clive Owen) suit of armour from Antoine Fuqua’s historical action film King Arthur. The Roman cavalry officer wore his armour during the final battle scenes, as he led his men in a vicious fight against the Saxons.

Consisting of multiple components created by armourer Terry English, the suit comprises a metal helmet (labelled “King Arthur, Terry English”) finished in silver-coloured paint; chest plates, greaves (labelled “1st Arthur battle”) and a pair of bracers (labelled “King Arthur, Clive Owen, 1”); and an under layer, which consists of a canvas tunic with incorporated leather banding and chain-mail sections, leather trousers with decorative metal studs, and a pair of black lace-up boots.

Raised faux-gold detailing adorns each section of armour, notably on the front chest plate, where lion head and eagle emblems are incorporated into the design. Leather pteruges with faux-gold metal medallions and emblems hang from the chest armour, and layered shoulder pauldrons are adhered to the top. Straps and buckles fix the plates together at the sides. A red ombré plume decorates the top of the helmet, with longer strands of purple hair at the back. The sides of the helmet display movable flaps, with brown cord attached to secure the helmet. Pieces of foam are attached on the helmet’s interior.

The battle-worn suit of armour shows signs of wear from production use, including minor marks, scratches and a hole in the back of the tunic. The costume is presented on a custom-made mannequin display. Dimensions: 36 cm x 78 cm x 215 cm (14 ¼” x 30 ¾” x 84 ¾”)
