Some info I found about this items background: The Victorian coat of arms is raised on an imposing stepped plinth and was designed as a chimney-piece ornament. An attractive and practical item which would also work well as a doorstop, or table top decoration, remaining in excellent original condition. Circa 1860-80.
The shield is quartered, depicting in the first and fourth quarters the three passant guardant lions of
England
; in the second, the rampant lion and double tressure flory-counterflory of
Scotland
; and in the third, a harp for
Ireland
. The crest is a statant guardant lion wearing the imperial crown ,himself on another representation of that crown. The dexter supporter is a likewise crowned English lion; and the other side,
Scottish
unicorn. According to legend, a free unicorn was considered a very dangerous beast; therefore the heraldic unicorn is chained, as were both supporting unicorns in the Royal coat of arms of
Scotland
. In the greenery below, a thistle, Tudor Rose and shamrock are present, representing
Scotland
,
England
and
Ireland
respectively. The coat features both the motto of
English
monarchs, Dieu et mon droit (God and my right), and the motto of the Order of the Garter, Honi soit qui mal y pense (shame upon him who thinks evil of it) on a representation of the Garter behind the shield.
