The design of the armor is characterized by its intricate decoration and the use of gilding, which highlights its aesthetic appeal and the wealth and prestige of its owner. The craftsmanship of Halder and his workshop is evident in the detailed etching and embossing work, which includes motifs and symbols relevant to Sir Christopher Hatton's personal heraldry and his loyalty to Queen Elizabeth. The suit of armor is not only a functional piece of military equipment but also a work of art, embodying the ideals of chivalry and the Renaissance fascination with classical antiquity.

As a piece of historical and artistic significance, the "Suit of Armour for Sir Christopher Hatton" provides insight into the cultural and social dynamics of the Elizabethan era, the technological advancements in armor-making, and the personal story of one of the queen's most trusted advisors.
