Description
🌟 Antique Arts & Crafts Hand-Carved School Crest Plaque, 1919–1920 Rivington & Blackrod Grammar School, Lancashire, England 🏰 A Unique Century-Old Work of British Heritage This hand-carved wooden wall plaque bears the crest of Rivington & Blackrod Grammar School (Lancashire, England), crafted over 100 years ago by a talented student of the school. Far from being a reproduction, this is a one-of-a-kind artifact — created by hand, rich in symbolism, and firmly rooted in the traditions of English education and ecclesiastical history. 📜 Historic School with Royal Foundations Founded in 1566 under Queen Elizabeth I’s charter, Rivington Grammar School was established by Bishop James Pilkington, reformer and Bishop of Durham. Its crest reflects both Pilkington family arms and the See of Durham, underscoring the school’s long-standing ties to the Church of England. The mitre (bishop’s headdress) – symbolizes spiritual authority and foundation in faith. The star – represents enlightenment through scholarship and guidance. RBGS initials – proudly signify the school’s enduring identity. ✍️ Crafted by a Student, 1919–1920 The plaque was carved between 1919–1920 by Herbert Robert Southworth, aged 14, while a pupil at the school. His name, age, and the date are inscribed on the reverse, together with a later provenance label confirming its authenticity and ownership. This makes the piece both an art object and a document of its own creation — history literally carved into wood by a young artisan a century ago. 🎨 Design & Style Form: Rectangular with softened, rounded edges. Technique: Low relief carving (bas-relief), producing depth and shadow with understated elegance. Motifs: The bishop’s mitre, star, and initials RBGS form the central heraldic crest. Character: Combines the dignity of heraldry with the charm of Arts & Crafts handwork, typical of early 20th-century British design. ✅ Provenance & Authenticity Carver: Herbert Robert Southworth, student of RBGS Date: 1919–1920 Medium: Hand-carved wood 🪵 Inscription: Reverse note – “Made by H. R. Southworth (age 14) 1919–1920” Label: Provenance note – “Rivington & Blackrod G.S. Crest. Carved by Herbert Robert Southworth 1919–20 when a scholar at the school. Property of S. & A. Lee, Treales Windmill, Treales, Lancs.” 💎 Collector Appeal Handcrafted Original – not a reproduction. Unique Piece – no duplicates exist. Historic Provenance – tied to a school founded by royal charter. Arts & Crafts Aesthetic – dignified, restrained, and beautifully proportioned. Ready to Display – fitted with original hanging bracket. 📏 Dimensions Height: 21.2 cm Width: 17.8 cm Depth: 2.5 cm Ideal proportions: substantial enough for impact, yet perfectly suited for study, library, or collector’s wall.
