This is sword scabbard made for a clients sword.
In the late 14th to mid 15thC, very complicated sword scabbard fittings became the thing to have for knights scabbards and this version is inspired by one shown in a Graham Turner painting and the design was modified by the client and here we are.
The fittings are all in brass and are fabricated piece by piece. The original had split belts going to the top scabbard and this has only a single belt and uses a set of my 15thC sword belt fittings.
The core is poplar and covered in vegtan leather with stamped decoration. As is the norm for this period only the top parts of the scabbard are decorated.
This fitting set does look a little space age or indeed art nouveau but this does pretty much follow the forms of the time and indeed there is a very similar one on an effigy in the church in the next village that Iwill make a copy of for my fittings page at some point.
I hope you like it.
