Heraldism & coats of arms

If there’s one field where tradition, the power of history, symbolism and a sense of beauty and balance come together with force, it’s heraldry. Arms are the cultural cement of our civilisation.

Our workshop book, containing prints of irons made over the last two centuries, is a bible on the subject, as is Jouffroy D’Eschavannes’s ‘Traité Complet de la Science du Blason’, whose illustrations are a precious tool of knowledge.

Starting with a simple definition, a rough drawing, a family portrait, an ex-Libris or an engraved signet ring, we can create a hand tool to gild your spines or book covers, a gilding iron plate to illustrate your large covers, a wax seal to authenticate your documents or a dry stamp to emboss your books, documents and precious papers.
