A vintage Royal Warrant Crest featuring the British Royal Coat of Arms
Large Vintage British Royal Warrant Coat of Arms
Specifically, (HM) Her Majesty The Queen Coat of Arms.
Royal warrants coats of arms for those appointed to Her Majesty The Queen. Her Majesty the Queen has granted over 680 Royal Warrants to different suppliers allowing them to display the Queen Elizabeth II crest.
The coat features both the motto of English monarchs, Dieu Et Mon Droit (God and my right), and the motto of the order of the garter, Honi Soit Qui Mal Y Pense (shame upon him who thinks evil of it) on a representation of the garter behind the shield. The shield is quartered, depicting in the first and fourth quarters the three passant guardant lions of England; in the second, the rampant lion and double tressure flory-counterflory of Scotland; and in the third, a harp for Ireland. The crest is a statant guardant lion wearing the St Edward's Crown, himself on another representation of that crown. The Dexter supporter is a likewise crowned English lion; the sinister, a Scottish unicorn. According to legend a free unicorn was considered a very dangerous beast; therefore the heraldic unicorn is chained. In the greenery below, a thistle, Tudor Rose and shamrock are present, representing Scotland, England and Ireland respectively.
British Royal Warrants are currently granted by Queen Elizabeth II, the Duke of Edinburgh and the Prince of Wales to companies or tradespeople who supply goods and services. The warrant enables the supplier to advertise the fact that they supply to the royal family. Royal Warrants are only awarded to tradesmen. The professions, employment agencies, party planners, the media, government departments, and "places of refreshment or entertainment" (such as pubs and theatres) do not qualify. The Merchandise Marks Act 1887 makes it illegal for companies to falsely claim that they have a Royal Warrant.

Well made, solid metal casting (very heavy weight).

Dimensions:
35 inches x 35 inches (nearly 3 feet x 3 feet)

Condition:More than likely, this warrant was displayed on the outside of a business in the United Kingdom. It is being sold "as is." There are signs of wear and evidence of outside use (it has not been recently cleaned, in order to maintain its current integrity, hence, there is some surface dust). There is generalized paint peeling and there are many areas were the under metal (aluminum) is exposed.This adds character and patina to the piece (however, this is a subjectiveperspective). Please examine the pictures closely.
Shipping:The buyer is responsible for local pick up. Freight shipment is possible only if the buyer assumes all responsibility of arranging and handling the shipment details. All shipment costs are the responsibility of the buyer.
