Family Crest Plaque or Coat of Arms Shields

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

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.

SIZES and METALS

Large Family Crest Plaque (or Large Coat of Arms Shield)
Size – 435mm high x 405mm wide
Weight – Brass 5kg   |   Pewter 2.2kg
LARGE BRASS
The most impressive family crest plaque of our range. The large brass shield is sand-cast in solid brass, oxidized to give an old heraldic finish, hand polished, then sealed with a high gloss clear baked lacquer, that ensures no need of further polishing.
LARGE PEWTER
This family crest plaque is exactly the same size and design as the brass, except that the metal shield is cast from aluminium alloy. As well as giving a perception of a silver finish this plaque is half the weight of the brass.

The middle size of our range of plaques, and the most popular for size and detail. The brass shield like the large, is sand-cast in solid brass, oxidised to enhance the visual effect of the Old English finish, hand polished, then sealed with a high gloss clear lacquer which eliminates any need for further polishing.
MEDIUM PEWTER
This plaque is exactly the same as the brass, except that the metal shield is cast from an aluminium alloy. The personal choice of either the gold (brass) finish or silver (pewter) finish will depend on where the plaque is to be displayed.
