Description
This rare mid-20th century painted bronze heraldic plaque is a striking example of British armorial art, made for official display rather than public sale. Richly cast and hand-painted, it bears the arms of the Duncan family, mounted within the Order of the British Empire circlet and badge – a combination directly associated with Sir Andrew Rae Duncan, GBE, Minister of Supply during the Second World War. ⚔️ Heraldic Achievement 🟥 Arms (Shield): Red ground with a gold chevron, between two cinquefoils and a hunting horn – the traditional Duncan family arms. ⛵ Crest: A ship under full sail, decorated with red cinquefoils, symbolising Scotland’s seafaring and mercantile tradition. 🔥⚒️ Supporters: Allegorical figures – one bearing a torch (Enlightenment/Knowledge), the other with a hammer (Industry/Labour). 📜 Motto: CONSILIO ET PRUDENTIA (“By Wisdom and Prudence”). 🎖️ Order of the British Empire: Encircled by the OBE motto For God and the Empire, with the cross of the order suspended below. 📜 Provenance Part of the original remaining remnant of wooden case that housed this plaque is present. It bears a label addressed to: Major Jackson Millar, Regional Controller, Ministry of Supply, 21 Glassford Street, Glasgow. 🏭 The Ministry of Supply (1939–1959) oversaw Britain’s wartime and post-war industrial production. This provenance directly connects the plaque to the Glasgow offices, and by extension to Britain’s WWII effort under Sir Andrew Rae Duncan, GBE. 🕰️ Dating Securely placed in the mid-20th century, c.1940s–1950s. 📏 Dimensions & Weight Height: 38.5 cm Width: 35 cm Thickness: 0.6 cm ⚖️ Weight: 13 kg ⭐ Collecting Significance This plaque unites Scottish heraldry, wartime history, and civic identity in one decorative piece. Perfect for collectors of: 🛡️ Heraldic & armorial art 🏴 Scottish history & memorabilia ⚙️ WWII & Ministry of Supply artefacts 🖼️ Mid-century decorative bronzes ​🏆 Summary A historic and finely crafted 13 kg bronze heraldic plaque, linking the Duncan family arms and the Order of the British Empire to Britain’s wartime industrial heritage in Glasgow. With its impressive scale, bold colour, and documented provenance, it is both a striking decorative statement and a valuable collector’s item. 🔎 Explore more treasures in our gallery: Cheshire Antiques Consultant LTD 💬 Questions?
