Item Description
A crisp and finely executed hand-carved heraldic plaque.
Belgium, mid nineteenth century.
In original and slightly crackled cream paint, lovely patina and tone to the surface.
Masterfully hand-carved in high relief, the work represents the Belgian noble house of Bauwens, a family elevated to hereditary nobility under Charles-Antoine Bauwens in 1843.
The central shield is flanked by two rendered greyhounds, surmounted by a barred knight’s helmet and a crown. Bearing the Latin motto: "Cogitamus et Construimus" (We Plan and We Build).
Signed in-distinctively by the carver.
