Description
**Heraldic Coat of Arms Wall Plaque - Brass/Bronze**
This is a decorative heraldic shield-shaped wall plaque made of brass or bronze-toned metal, featuring a quartered coat of arms design. The shield displays four distinct sections: a red field with a gold rampant lion (upper left), vertical gold striping (upper right and lower right), and a blue field with three gold fleur-de-lis (lower left). The piece has a classical heraldic style with raised relief detailing and appears to have mounting hardware on the reverse side.
Based on the ruler visible in the images, the plaque measures approximately 8 inches in height by 6-7 inches in width, with a depth of roughly 1 inch due to the relief work. The metalwork shows good detail in the heraldic elements, with crisp definition in the lion figure and fleur-de-lis symbols. The piece appears to be in good condition with normal patina consistent with brass/bronze, though some minor surface wear is visible.
The style and heraldic elements suggest this is likely a 20th century decorative piece, possibly representing French or English heraldic traditions given the fleur-de-lis and lion imagery. No visible maker's marks or signatures are apparent from these angles. The construction appears to be cast metal rather than hand-forged.
**Estimated Value: $25-75 USD** - Based on typical pricing for decorative heraldic wall plaques of this size and apparent quality in the vintage/antique décor market. Value could vary depending on actual metal composition and any historical significance of the specific coat of arms depicted.
