Carved Coat of Arms: What Each Part Means
Shield, helmet, torse, mantling, and motto: what each part of a coat of arms means, shown on two carvings, one with a griffin and one with three fish.

Commissions
Custom wood carving developed from your idea, sketch or reference specifically for your project — heraldic family crests and coats of arms, relief panels, religious and cultural carvings, and carved furniture such as headboards.
01
Conversation
The project begins with your idea — a sketch, a reference, a family crest, or simply a description of the space and its character.
02
Concept & Sketches
Sketches and 3D renders to refine the design, scale and detail before carving begins.
03
Carving
The piece is carved in the wood of your choice — walnut, oak, iroko or any other species you prefer — and finished in the atelier, with progress photos along the way. Production usually takes 1–2 weeks.
04
Delivery
The finished piece is carefully packed and shipped; delivery time depends on your region. On-site installation is available by arrangement.
