The Lion Armour Collection - Royal Armouries Collection Inspired

Our range of stylish kitchen textiles are inspired by the exquisitely decorated Lion Armour on display at the Royal Armouries Museum in Leeds.  

Created in Italy around 1550, the Lion Armour is thought to have been made for the French King, Henri II. When originally created the now grey areas of the armour would have been iridescent blue, a striking contrast to the inlaid pattern of gold damascene.
