Large Italian Antique Coat of Arms – Late 18th / Early 19th Century Oil on Canvas
A large Italian antique oil painting on canvas depicting a coat of arms with a crest surmounted by a coronet, framed within a border of flowers and foliage. The composition is bold and symmetrical, with stylised heraldic motifs rendered in rhythmic brushwork and softened by age.
Likely produced for a noble household (likely a count) or civic building, the painting carries both decorative and symbolic resonance. The canvas shows surface wear, craquelure, and minor losses, with a dry, aged patina and traces of historic pigment in the recesses.
A rare survival of late 18th to early 19th-century Italian heraldic art — ideal for collectors of armorial paintings, decorative fragments, or Continental antiques with aristocratic flair.
Condition - There is surface wear. Please refer to the images for further details. An additional detailed condition report is available upon request. The panel is offered for sale in unframed condition.
Size: With the frame 146 cm x 120 cm (57 1/2" x 47 1/4") / Without Frame 54 cm x 44 .5 cm (21 1/4" x 17 1/2")
