Mahony Family Crest

Beautifully arranged in this parchment and created by Edmond McGrath (RIP) in the 1970s and only rediscovered after 40 years in safe storage, we bring you a very special illustration that encompasses symbols of your Irish tribal heritage. The owner of this name is by definition a child of Ireland in culture and in blood!

On this A1 (23.4 x 33.1 inch) sized parchment, your special Irish Coat of Arms is deservedly embellished by all the many ancient Celtic inspirations of Irish artists, scholars and architects. At the centre you see the backdrop of the Kerry landscape with her scenic Killarney lakes, whilst other bordering elements are the craftsmanship of sculptors and builders who managed to create works of art with the most basic of tools. With this parchment you will see your family name as an integral part of the Irish story which will forever remain an integral part of Irish heritage.

This parchment can be an heirloom for many generations yet to come as your family thrive into the future making their own mark on history as your ancestors did. Your unique Irish family Coat of Arms is a wonderful creative reminder that your name has an Irish tribal identity with its origin, derivatives and impact on the culture of Ireland and worldwide. All of this written in Celtic calligraphy. The design inspiration is about Ireland’s story and how your family have made a mark on Ireland history.

The Mahony Coat Of Arms Story

Read the intriguing transcription of the text illustrated on the Mahony family history parchment:

Although Mahony is one of the most frequently found names in Ireland it is still particularly associated with West Munster and that area of County Cork traditionally occupied by the O’ Mahony sept. They were a very influential group whose chieftains were often described as princes and their territory is represented today by the Barony of Kmelmeahy. A fortified castle known as Rosbrian lay off the coast of South West Cork. Their name is derived from the ancestor Mathghamhan, the Irish word for a bear. His origins were very distinguished since his mother was the daughter of the famous Brian Boru. Mathghamhan himself died at the battle of Clontarf in 1014, along with Brian himself and many of the Desmond fighting men. ‘Brian’s battle’, as the sagas describe it, was one of the bloodiest of the age but it struck a powerful blow against the horse invaders, preventing their conquest of Ireland. In later years another famous soldier was Count Daniel O’ Mahony (d. 1714). Serving France in the Irish brigade with many of his fellow countrymen, he became a General and a hero of the battle of Cremona. In Another sphere Sylvester Mahony (1804- 1866), under the pseudonym of father Prout, wrote ‘the bells of Shandon’ and other poems associated with Cork. The nineteenth century was characterized by massive emigration as thousands of Irish men and women left the poverty and unemployment of Ireland to look for a better life elsewhere. Two such hopeful travelers are listed as passengers on the ‘fortitude’, bound for New York from Cork in February 1804. They were Margaret Mahony, aged thirty, and her daughter Anne, nine, from Dunmanway in County Cork.

Had ordered this for an 80th birthday. There was a problem getting the size frame I ordered. Aidan offered me the next size up at the same price and made sure it was hand delivered on time for the party. Great service and would definitely recommend them.

I have a bit of history of my maternal Irish family and the coat of arms crest will enhance it. I am placing it in a float frame and will proudly display it on the wall. It arrived in perfect shape and I am pleased with the quality and the entire process of ordering. When I need something Irish, I will go to your website again. Thank you Aidan, and I wish you success in your business!
