Hand Painted Irish Coat of Arms
Your Irish Coat of Arms is beautifully hand painted onto copper. The copper shield is then mounted onto a wooden base made from mahogany or oak. This is a specialist product made with our dedicated team of heraldic artists based in Dublin. Mahogany tends to be the most popular wood that customers choose. If the names you request are not Irish, that's no problem because we have thousands of names from around the world in our family crest database.
A family shield is great for someone who wishes to celebrate their roots. They will be so proud of having their name illustrated on their living room wall as a reminder of their origin. It's a lovely gift for any occasion and if you are looking to have a family shield for two people for an authentic Irish wedding gift perhaps the Double Shield is a great option.

Family Shield History
Traditional coat of arms designs date back to the 12th century, where decorating defensive shields became a useful way of identifying knights in the heat of battle. These insignia were created by officials known as heralds, who also recorded and regulated armorial bearings. Their records were known as blazons. Typically a blazon has three components - arms (the 'flag' part of the image), crest (the design surrounding the flag), and the motto (which often originated as a war cry).
