Rare Hand Carved 1587 Fighting Scots City of York Coat of Arms Armoiral Crest

About the Item

We are delighted to offer for sale this lovely hand carved wall plaque coat of arms for the city of York Fighting Scots dating from 1587 This is a very good looking and well made coat of arms, the full history of the crest is dated below, I’m unsure of the exact of this piece, looking at the quality of the sceptre crown and the timber patina I would say mid Victorian but it could be earlier Dimensions: Height 27.5cm Width 22cm Depth 4.5cm Please note all measurements are taken at the widest point Official blazon Argent on a Cross Gules five Lions passant guardant Or. Origin/meaning When the arms were officially granted is not known, but it is likely that the arms were granted by King Edward III (1327-1377). He made York his capital when fighting the Scots. The arms show the cross of St. George, the patron saint of England, and the lion of England. The arms were officially recorded in 1587 after the 1584 Visitation. The right to use the sword, mace and cap by the mayor of York was granted in 1396 by King Richard II, when York received county status. The cap is normally only used by dukes, not by cities. Even though these attributes are not formally granted, they have been used behind the arms since the 18th century.

  • Large Hand Carved Antique Sculpture of Apparition of Jesus to St. Margaret Mary
    Located in Lisse, NL

This probably is the scene in which He asks her to establish devotion to His Sacred Heart. We have never seen a sculpture of this subject matter and for us to have found one of this large size and of such quality more than made our day. Hand carved out of solid oak, both the details and the depth of this antique wall sculpture...
