Our Story

Since their emergence in the 12th century, coats of arms have been one of the most common and important means of visual identification.

As the need to identify with and prove membership of families, companies, professions and universities increased over time, so did the need to be able to distinguish between them both socially and geographically.

Since this time, items as varied as manuscripts, charters, official documents, works of art, pottery, and tomb stones, to name but a few, bear witness to the intriguing history of these coats of arms.

Today, all over the world, collectors, art dealers, auction houses, genealogists, families and researchers are diving into this fascinating world in the search for further information about certain coats of arms.

This is no easy task given the sheer number of coats of arms in existence, their geographical coverage, the vast time period and, not least, the poor quality of some of the sources themselves.
