For Sale by Baggott & Co.
Description

A pair of 18th century cast bronze heraldic crests, in the form of a lion passant, facing dexter, standing on a torse.

The lion passant is the family crest of the Scottish family Stirling of Glorat, of the Clan Stirling. Glorat, the family seat, is in the Scottish parish of Campsie, Stirlingshire - now renamed East Dunbartonshire. Other branches of Clan Stirling, descendants of de Striveling, include the Stirlings of Kier, Perthshire, and the Stirlings of Cadder, Stirlingshire. The name Stirling was derived from the town of that name, located in a 'tract of country between the firths of Forth and Clyde has been, through all antiquity, famous for battles and rencounters between the different nations who were possessed of North and South Britain'.

Sir John Stirling, received the honour of knighthood in 1430 and armour-bearer to King James 1 of Scotland. He was also governor of Dumbarton Castle and Sheriff of the county of Dumbarton. Sir John obtained the lands of Glorat as a dowry with his wife, the daughter of the Laird of Galbraith and was succeeded by his son, William Stirling, 1st of Glorat, also governor of Dumbarton Castle and sheriff of Dumbarton; from whom lineally descended Mungo Stirling, Esq. of Glorat, who was created a Baronet of Nova Scotia in 1666. The house and lands of Glorat still remain in the Stirling family.

FAQs

Heraldic lion plaques originated as symbolic representations of lineage, rank, and family heritage in European heraldry. The lion passant, depicted walking with one paw raised, is a classical heraldic emblem frequently utilised on clan crests and coats of arms throughout the nineteenth century.

Traditional heraldic reliefs were typically cast in bronze or brass using sand or lost-wax casting methods. Once cast, the metal surfaces were hand-chased to heighten relief details before being mounted onto solid hardwood or painted timber panels for wall display.

Authentic nineteenth-century bronze heraldic plaques feature crisp hand-chased definition around elements like the mane and paws, paired with natural patination in recessed areas. The reverse side often exhibits hand-cut mounting fixings, aged timber backing, or original foundry casting marks.

A heraldic bronze plaque can be incorporated into a modern scheme as a sculptural focal point above a fireplace mantel, within a curated gallery wall, or set against dark panelling in a study. Placing bronze relief metalwork against textured stone or neutral plaster creates a balanced contrast.

Maintain bronze reliefs by dusting regularly with a dry, soft microfibre cloth and applying microcrystalline wax once a year to preserve the surface finish. Avoid abrasive liquid cleaners, and keep the timber mounting panel away from high humidity or direct heat to prevent warping.
