Collecting Medieval Shields For Your Wall Decor by Gen Wright
If you stay in a huge house, you may wish to consider adding some decorative items to your wall. After all, long stretches bare walls may make your home look boring. When you think of wall decorations, the most obvious items that come to mind are paintings and photo frames. To add a fresh touch to your interior decoration, you may wish to consider adding medieval shields to your walls.
Medieval shields may not be as commonly seen as paintings or photos. Therefore, adding medieval shields to your wall will help create a more refreshing look. When placed in prominent places, they tend to attract a lot of attention and can make be the subjects of interesting conversations. Just be sure that you know something about the background of the shields so that you can carry out meaningful conversations with your guests!
Today, there are many types of medieval shields for sale. These are live sized shields that are mostly replicas of the real thing. Some are even fully functional and battle ready! They range from historic shields such as the viking shield to completely fictitious shields such as the Lord of the Ring Gondorian Shield (Limited Edition). Other examples of historic swords include the shield of King Charles V, the Knights of Jerusalem Shield, the Northern crusaders shield, and more.
In general, medieval shields come in three different shapes – long triangle, round, or oval. The long triangular shield has three points. Its shape is elongated, and usually covers a larger portion of the body compared to shields of other shapes.
The other commonly seen shape is the round shield. The viking shield is the perfect example. It is simple, made from wood, and looks completely round. As it is usually lighter than other shields, a round shield can be highly effective in close up combat. The shield, therefore, also reflects the fight style of its owner.
Rectangular or oval shaped shields are also available, but they are rarer. The Roman Legionnaire’s battle shield is an example of a rectangular shield. Note that different shields are used for different purposes. Some are used for jousting, while others are used for closed up combat. Shields that ate meant to go up against strong spears are much larger and heavier.
One unique feature of shields is that there are beautifully designed logos embedded on the shields. These make the shields perfect items for decorative purposes. The logos can come in many different shapes and colors, and they are set against wood or a shiny metal. Many are even equipped with chain hangers and brackets at the back of the shield for attaching swords.
Together with a pair of medieval swords, the wall decoration becomes a complete set. Now you will never have to spend another day staring at boring walls!
