Double Coat of Arms Shield, Bespoke Personalised Gift

Handmade Shield – Double Coat of Arms for Couples and Special Occasions

A Handmade Shield to Celebrate Unions and Heritage

Looking for a truly personal and meaningful gift? Our handmade shield featuring a double coat of arms is the perfect way to honour a union, whether it’s a wedding, anniversary, or celebration of a shared family history. This beautiful oak wall plaque is individually crafted to your specifications and made to last for generations.

Each handmade shield displays two coats of arms, traditionally painted and mounted to create a unique tribute to heritage and partnership.

A Handcrafted Gift of Lasting Value

Crafted by our experienced heraldic artist David, who has over forty years of expertise in the field, each shield is a true work of art. David works directly from the earliest known coat of arms associated with each surname. Our database holds over one million surnames, so we can usually locate both arms with ease.

Once your family names are confirmed, David hand-paints both coats of arms onto a burnished copper-effect template using time-honoured enamel paints. The detailed artistry captures the colours and symbolism with historical accuracy and vibrant clarity.

Customised to Your Preferences

You can choose the size of your handmade shield – either medium or large – and select between a light oak-style or rich hardwood-style backing. Once the painting is complete, we mount the embossed template onto your chosen plaque, creating a stunning and balanced presentation.

You also have the option to request a weatherproof seal if you’d like to display the shield outdoors – perhaps at your front door, garden wall, or even as a unique welcome sign.

Ready to Hang and Easy to Display

Each shield comes fully assembled with fixings included, so it arrives ready to hang straight on the wall. Whether it’s displayed in a living room, study, hallway, or office, this elegant piece becomes a conversation starter and cherished reminder of family history.
