Knights of Avalon

 

Marcel Vergeylen

Marcel Vergeylen a model knight maker based in  Brussels , producing a limited number of figures a year .

I think this group is very pleasing, of Sir Geoffrey Luttrell ( 1276-1345) on horseback with his wife and daughter-in-law styled after the image which can be found in the Luttrell Psalter produced approximately 1345 which is in the British Library.

 

This scene from the Luttrell Psalter  was also used by Frederick Ping for his 1975 Christmas Card and the figures can be seen on Ping model knights page.

A few more examples of his work below and you can also see a couple of Simon de Montfort figures on my Montfort Pages
