The Royal Coat of Arms of the United Kingdom, c. 1910

About the Item

The Royal Coat of Arms of the United Kingdom as used in Scotland after Queen Victoria’s accession in 1837. And a very fine example of high quality and spirited carving, with both the Lion of England and the proud Scots unicorn showing tremendous vitality and animation This magnificent coat of arms dates from the Arts and Craft period of the early 20th Century and has a clear stylistic connection to the oak carvings of the choir stalls of the Chapel of the Knights of the Order of the Thistle in St Giles Cathedral, Edinburgh, carried out by W & A Clow when the chapel was built c.1910-11 Born in Edinburgh, Alexander Clow and his older half-brother, William, became the preferred wood carvers for the architect Robert Lorimer after completing commissions for the Chapel of the Knights of the Order of the Thistle at St Giles Cathedral (1910-11). They worked on many of Lorimer's other buildings and memorials, including the choir stalls of Dunblane Cathedral, Stirling (1912-14) and the Scottish National War Memorial (1924-7)
