Everyone has a heritage to be proud of. Whether you come from Danish Royalty, your ancestors made steel for warring knights, or your ten-times-great-grandfather kept people warm and happy by serving them beer at the pub, we all come from people who’ve made a direct impact on the world around them. Heraldry is about showing people who you are. Starting in Europe in the late 1100’s, it began when kn
ights started wearing helmets that covered their faces. Since they couldn’t be recognized, but were still proud warriors, they began painting unique combinations of colors, shapes, and animals (called their ‘arms’) on their shields and banners. That way, whenever they went to battle, everyone knew who they were. The reason we got into this business is that we believe in having pride in where you come from. That’s why we’ve been handcrafting unique heraldic products since 1985. Starting with the Shields, we now also offer hand-made embroideries, pennants, and crests for our proud customers. But the Shield with the Family Coat of arms remains our favorite product, which we craft unique for each individual customer. It adds beauty and class to your interior, but it’s also much more than that. The Shield is a symbolic representation of the protection over your family, signifying our three most-valued traits: Courage, Pride, and Commitment. Practicing these values keeps a family strong and protected. Remember—in the old war days you could survive a battle without a sword, but you couldn’t survive without a shield. The same goes for a family. Our family histories go back thousands of years. You may not even know your lineage. That’s why we’ve cultivated relationships with historians and their databases around the world, giving us access to over one million Family Name Histories and their Coats of Arms. We’re more than happy to teach you something you may not even know about your own family! Everyone has something to be proud of. Whether it’s your rich family history, your military background, your favorite sports club, or something else, let us be the ones to handcraft a personalized heraldic product so you can show the world your Courage, Pride, and Commitment.
