FREE CERTIFICATE INCLUDED WITH EVERY SHIELD
Every Heraldic Names shield comes with the Family Name History Certificates Included (save $35)
Family Crest Plaque (or Coat of Arms Shield) made by hand in Australia by our expert artisan, who has crafted these pieces for over 40 years.
We are very fortunate here at Heraldic Names, to have such a dedicated craftsperson who takes such painstaking pride in every order he receives.
Every Family Crest Plaque or Coat of Arms Shield goes through a laborious process. First the Timber Shield, the important component of your Family Crest Plaque is sculpted from furniture grade ‘custom-wood’. Each timber shield is then handmade, beveled, polished, stained and then finished in a high gloss clear lacquer. There are many different finishes, and our artisan ensure to pick the right timber shield colour to match the colours of your family Coat of Arms. Each Family Crest Plaque is completely unique, and not made en masse in China or some other international country.
The most important feature of any Family Crest Plaque or Coat of Arms Shield is the scope and quality of the artwork. All our plaques are hand painted by our highly skilled artists, in the true armorial colours as described in our vast library. The enamel paints that are used are imported from England, having used the same brand of paints for over thirty years, and are the highest quality found anywhere in the world. We completely dry, the artwork will give a high-gloss reflective finish to your Family Crest Plaque, or Coat of Arms Shield. We guarantee the artwork will never tarnish or fade, infact our guarantee is a life-time guarantee.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
PLEASE NOTE: WE HAVE HAD TO CHANGE THE LETTERING ACROSS OUR ENTIRE SHIELD RANGE DUE TO THE OLDE ENGLISH STYLE NO LONGER BEING AVAILABLE.
Shields will no longer be supplied finished with the Gothic Olde English style fonts, but are supplied instead with Times New Roman or Baskerville style letters.
When ordering a Family Crest Plaque, or Coat of Arms Shield – if you or a family member have knowledge or a sketch of your family Coat of Arms, we would need to have an indication as to what it may look like. Heraldry, being an exact science, still allows the Heraldic Artist some leeway in interpreting the blazon-of-arms and using their personal styles in depicting the various charges used in the heraldic language.
Bob Broll –
I just received the shields I ordered. They are absolutely stunning. The wood base just shines and the brass is formed perfectly. You can tell it was handled with care. It was nice to see the effort and care they put into something that is important to me

John and Betty –
We recently received our dual plaque and it far exceeded our expectations in quality and detail. The artisan should be rightly proud of her work.
Thanks to Emma for her painstaking research – this was not a simple heraldic exercise!
An important point to note is that the business was affected by the recent floods, yet Emma and the team delivered as promised.
We cannot recommend Heraldic Names highly enough. Well done to everyone involved!
