The Suit of Armour for Sir Christopher Hatton, crafted by Jacobe Halder, is a remarkable example of late 16th-century European armor, reflecting both the artistry and the martial requirements of the period. Sir Christopher Hatton (1540-1591), an influential English courtier, politician, and favorite of Queen Elizabeth I, commissioned this suit of armor, which exemplifies the high craftsmanship and intricate design characteristic of Halder's work. Jacobe Halder, a renowned armorer of German origin, was active in England during the late 16th century and served as the principal armorer to the English court. His work is noted for its meticulous attention to detail, innovative designs, and the incorporation of both functional and decorative elements.

The suit of armor is composed of multiple interlocking plates, designed to provide maximum protection while allowing for a degree of mobility. It includes a helmet, breastplate, backplate, gauntlets, greaves, and sabatons, each piece meticulously crafted to fit the wearer perfectly. The armor is richly decorated with etchings, gilding, and embossing, featuring motifs that were popular during the Elizabethan era, such as intricate scrollwork, floral patterns, and heraldic symbols. These decorative elements not only enhanced the visual appeal of the armor but also signified the wearer's status and wealth.

In addition to its aesthetic qualities, the Suit of Armour for Sir Christopher Hatton was designed to be functional in battle. The steel plates provided substantial protection against contemporary weapons, while the articulated joints allowed for a range of movement necessary for combat. The craftsmanship of Jacobe Halder ensured that the armor was both durable and comfortable, a testament to his skill and expertise as an armorer.

Today, the Suit of Armour for Sir Christopher Hatton is considered a significant historical artifact, offering insights into the martial culture and artistic achievements of the Elizabethan era. It is preserved as part of a collection that highlights the technological advancements and artistic endeavors of the period, serving as a valuable resource for historians, scholars, and enthusiasts of medieval and Renaissance armory.
