Aren’t suits of armor associated with chateauesque house styles?If I was going to build something that looked like a looked like a Victorian version of a medieval castle-- stone, arched doorways, large fireplaces, banqueting halls and so on, suits of armor would fit the mold.
(And yes, I’ve seen the Time Team special on Dover Castle, so I’m aware that that Chateauesque architecture is scarcely more authentic than the stark white marble versions of Roman and Greek polychrome statuary) It looks cool, if anachronistically so.
