Medieval and Historical Shields

The medieval period gave birth to some of the most iconic shield designs, and the Shields Collection celebrates these powerful symbols of battle. Crafted from wood, steel, and leather, these shields were built to withstand the rigors of war while offering visual identity to the warriors who wielded them.

• The Knight's Shield: A beautifully detailed kite-shaped shield, designed for protection during the medieval era, is a hallmark of a knight's equipment. Its long shape provided excellent defense, especially in sword fights and jousting tournaments. Often emblazoned with a coat of arms or family crest, the Knight's Shield represents chivalry and the valor of medieval warriors.

• The Viking Shield: The Viking era is synonymous with fierce warriors who sailed across seas and conquered new lands. The Viking Shield features a circular design, often made from wood, reinforced with steel for added protection. A bold center boss and the use of leather straps around the edges make this shield an iconic symbol of Scandinavian warriors. In the Shields Collection, these shields are recreated with all the historical detail, from the painted designs to the distinctive colors that would have signified a Viking clan.

• The Roman Scutum: The Roman Scutum, a large rectangular shield, was designed for use by the Roman legions in their tight, disciplined formations. Its curved shape provided excellent coverage and allowed soldiers to form an impenetrable wall of shields in battle. The Shields Collection offers replicas that bring the iconic scutum to life with its distinctive bronze rims, leather straps, and bold markings.

Fantasy Shields

Shields are not only a part of history; they have also become key elements in fantasy and mythology, representing heroes and warriors in epic sagas. The Shields Collection features several fantasy-inspired designs, offering something for fans of popular series and mythological heroes alike.

This shield, with its intricate silver detailing, black and gold design, and symbol of the White Tree, is an emblem of resilience and noble defense. Whether displayed as part of a collection or used in cosplay, the Gondorian Shield is a powerful reminder of Middle-earth's enduring spirit.

Inspired by the high elves of Tolkien’s world, these shields combine grace with strength. Often featuring elvish runes or delicate leaf patterns, the Elven Shield embodies the balance between beauty and defensive power. Whether it's Galadriel’s shield or a more general Elven design, these shields are truly mesmerizing.
