This nineteenth-century cast iron armorial plaque displays a Victorian heraldic design with a rectangular format and a raised border painted green. The central raised coat of arms includes a polychrome relief shield featuring crossed swords, leopard heads, and a crown, accompanied by a crest above and a motto scroll below inscribed with 'In God We Trust'. The piece exhibits a black painted surface finish showing spots of rust bleeding through the white, red, blue, and black paintwork. Measuring 39 cm high and 53 cm wide, the plaque is sized for wall mounting. Suitable for display in a gentleman's library or study, the plaque hangs as a decorative wall hanging. It works particularly well placed above the mantel in a traditional living space or hallway interior.

FAQs

An armorial plaque is a decorative cast iron relief featuring a heraldic coat of arms, crest, or motto, historically used on building facades, gates, or interiors to denote lineage, civic affiliation, or property protection.

These pieces were created by pouring molten iron into sand moulds crafted from carved wooden master patterns, after which the cooled metal was painted or gilded to highlight the raised heraldic details.

Authentic period examples exhibit crisp hand-moulded casting details, natural surface oxidisation or paint wear, and significant weight consistent with heavy cast metal rather than modern lightweight reproduction alloys.

Mount the plaque on a gallery wall alongside framed prints, display it on a mantelpiece against dark timber panelled walls, or position it in an entryway to add historical structure and visual texture.

Dust gently with a soft dry brush and avoid abrasive chemical cleaners; if surface corrosion appears, apply a light coat of neutral microcrystalline wax to stabilise the metal without stripping original paint layers.
