Heraldry - Armorial: Embossed Iron Coat Of Arms, Architectural Element - 18th Century

Early 18th century France This stamped iron coat of arms is a striking testimony to an era when heraldry represented much more than a simple decoration: it was a true symbol of belonging, identity and pride. This coat of arms, probably intended to adorn the top of a gate or a property arch, presents an emblematic motif: three stylized fruits, identifiable as apples, which clearly evoke the coat of arms of the town of Pomérols (Pommerols), located in Hérault (34). The coat of arms of Pomérols is traditionally described as follows: “Azure with three apples stemmed and leafed or.” Although the original colors have now disappeared over time, traces of old gilding remain, recalling the visual richness of this coat of arms when it was still polychrome. Material: Stamped iron, robust and resistant. Technique: Hand stamping with clean and precise reliefs. Decoration: Three stylized apples with their finely depicted stems and leaves. Traces of polychromy: Vestiges of gilding, evidence of the initial brilliance of the coat of arms. The state of conservation is very good, despite a slightly pitted apple.
