This pair of lion armour oven gloves features a printed design inspired by the Lion Armour on display at Royal Armouries Museum, Leeds.
Created in Italy or France around 1550, the Lion Armour is thought to have been made for the French King, Henry II. When originally created, this armour would have been iridescent blue, a striking opposition to the gold damascene; which has faded over time to the colour seen today.
