The piece in detail

Coats of Arms & Portraits

A piece shaped with care,
from log to finish.

True heirloom pieces, our coats of arms and portraits combine rigorous preparatory drawing, fine carving and workshop finishing. Beyond our range of standard sizes, we assess and quote for all your heraldic projects and personalised portraits.

Family coat of arms, medallion or carved portrait: heirloom pieces, made to be handed down the generations. For heraldic commissions, the preparatory drawing is submitted to you before any carving.

  1. I

    The heraldic study

    Coat of arms, motto and external ornaments are redrawn by the rules of heraldry before being transferred onto the wood.

  2. II

    Relief carving

    Carved from the solid, the relief is then reworked by hand: its details are refined with a chisel.

  3. III

    The ceremonial finish

    A patina, heraldic tinctures in polychromy or gold leaf bring out the character of the piece.

Available wood species

Oak

+15%

Bold, golden figure

The quintessential noble French wood. Hard, durable, with its recognisable figure, it lends prestige and patina to reception-room panelling.

Walnut

Pale to dark brown

The most prestigious of our woods: from pale to dark brown, grain most often straight, silky patina. Reserved for exceptional pieces and varnished or waxed finishes.

Lime (linden)

Included

Tight, cream grain

The carvers' wood: soft, knot-free, it holds the finest detail. Favoured for medallions and portraits, whose details are refined with a chisel.

Care

Wall pieces: regular dusting with a soft brush preserves the relief. Gilded parts are never touched with bare hands.

Keep away from direct humidity. The workshop can apply a microcrystalline wax over patinas.
