Royal Circa 1707-1714 Hand Carved Polychrome Painted Armorial Crest Coat of Arms

18th century
Description

Royal House Antiques is delighted to offer for sale this very rare, large for its type, Royal coat of arms / Armorial Crest circa 1707-1714 with original Polychrome paint

Please note the delivery fee listed is just a guide, it covers within the M25 only for the UK and local Europe only for international, if you would like an accurate quote please send me your postcode and I’ll provide you with the exact price

This is an exceptionally well made and decorative piece, it is large as mentioned, the full specifications are below but this is over three times the size of the last one I had in stock

It is a carved and polychrome painted Royal Coat of Arms of the United Kingdom,18th century, with supporting lion and unicorn among scrolling foliage, inscribed 'HONI SOIT QUI MAL Y PENSE' and 'DIEU ET MON DROIT',

Provenance:

Purportedly from an administrative building in the Caribbean. It has been suggested that the painted coat of arms dates to between 1707 and 1714. The first and fourth quarters bear the three lions of England impaled with the lion of Scotland within a bordure, representing the 1707 Union with Scotland. The second and third quarters show the arms of France and Ireland respectively.

In 1714, when Queen Anne died, the Arms were replaced by the arms of the House of Hanover which did not change till 1801.

In terms of the condition we have cleaned waxed and polished it to ensure none of the original polychrome paint is lost. It has normal age and use related timber shrinkage and general wear, there are some small losses to the timber on some of the tips, nothing you wouldn’t expect from a period piece

FAQs

Carved royal coats of arms were commissioned during the 17th and 18th centuries to denote royal authority, patronage, or allegiance. Displayed in civic buildings, churches, and prominent residences, these relief carvings depicted monarchical heraldry, including specific quarters representing kingdoms and royal unions.

Antique heraldic crests were typically carved from dense hardwoods such as oak, walnut, or pine. They were decorated using polychrome tempera or oil paint, alongside gold leaf gilding, to accurately reflect the official tinctures, metals, and furs of the armorial bearings.

Authentic 18th-century wood carvings exhibit tool marks consistent with hand-chiselling, structural shrinkage along the wood grain, and natural age-related paint loss or craquelure. Examining the reverse side often reveals original joinery techniques, hand-forged iron fixings, and unrefined timber surfaces.

Carved armorial plaques are frequently used as architectural focal points above fireplaces, sideboards, or in entryways. Mounting the piece against a neutral or dark backdrop allows the sculpted relief and historical pigments to contrast with contemporary furniture and clean architectural lines.

Polychrome wood carvings require controlled humidity levels to prevent timber movement and pigment flaking. Dusting should be performed gently with a soft brush rather than cloth, avoiding water, chemical solvents, or waxes that can strip delicate tempera or gilding.
