Heraldry Crests and Coats of Arms / Help to id coat of arms
« on: Saturday 28 October 17 15:15 BST (UK) »
I have some furniture that I believe is tied to the history of my home and its family.
The first seems to have dragons regardant on both sides in support with crowned lions rampant diagonally on both dexter and sinister and a castle tower in the opposite.
The second seems to have lions rampant in support with eagles displayed addorsed and a castle tower in the center.
It is certainly possible that these are just a total fakes by a furniture maker, but I like to imagine that these came from the marriage of two storied houses in the late 1800's whom had their coats of arms engraved into their formal dining room chairs to recognize their history.
Thanks!!
