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
