Title: 1706 Heraldic Engraving of Scotland’s Unicorn and Royal Arms by Coronelli
Description: This elegant antique print, likely from Vincenzo Maria Coronelli’s 'Isole Britanniche: Inghilterra, Scozia, Irlanda', published around 1706 in Venice, showcases the royal coat of arms of Scotland in a finely detailed heraldic composition.
Coronelli, a celebrated Venetian cartographer and engraver, crafted this piece using hand-colored engraving, a technique that blends precise line work with subtle watercolor hues to bring vibrancy to the symbolic imagery.
The central shield, adorned with a rampant red lion within a double tressure flory-counter-flory, is crowned with a golden coronet, symbolizing Scotland’s monarchy. Flanking the shield are a lion and a unicorn, traditional supporters representing strength and purity, respectively, rendered with Coronelli’s characteristic attention to detail. A draped crimson curtain, tied with golden tassels, forms a regal backdrop, enhancing the ceremonial tone of the artwork.
This print reflects the early 18th-century fascination with heraldry, particularly in the context of the British Isles, as Scotland navigated its identity following the 1707 Acts of Union.
Coronelli’s work often combined cartographic precision with decorative artistry, making this piece a striking example of his ability to capture both historical significance and aesthetic beauty.
A rare find, this print offers collectors of heraldic art or early modern European prints a window into Scotland’s royal heritage through the lens of one of Venice’s most prolific engravers.
Condition Report: The print shows light fading of colors and minor edge discoloration, typical for its age. There are no tears or creases, but faint foxing is present. The paper is stable, though fragile, requiring careful handling.
Framing Tips: Use an ornate frame in antique gold or deep burgundy to match the regal theme. A cream or pale gold mat complements the colors. Avoid bright frames; opt for rich, muted tones to enhance the print’s historical elegance.

Detailed Engraving of The Greater Coat of Arms of Sweden, 1669
Located in Langweer, NL
This is an original detailed engraving of the greater coat of arms of Sweden, referred to in Swedish as "Svea rikes huvudvapen." The engraving was printed in Paris in 1669 according to Erik Vennberg.
The coat of arms is elaborately detailed, with each escutcheon representing a component of the Swedish empire, including the arms of the House of Vasa among others. At the center, the shield is crowned with a regal crown, symbolizing the Swedish monarchy. Two regally posed lions, a common heraldic symbol of courage and strength, support the shield. The entire composition is topped with a mantle that looks to be teeming with various heraldic motifs, representing the unity and history of the Swedish nation.
The intricacy of the work is indicative of the period's engraving techniques, with each line meticulously carved to bring out the opulence and intricate detail of the symbols. The coat of arms is a visual representation of the sovereignty and history of Sweden.
The engraving is attributed to Jean Le Pautre, a notable French engraver from the 17th century, while the author of the work is Erik Dahlbergh...
