Pair of Vintage Norwegian Coat of Arms Copper Wall Plaques | Hand Hammered Heraldic Lion Shield Wall Art

This impressive pair of vintage copper wall plaques features the Norwegian coat of arms motif, depicting a crowned lion holding an axe. The plaques are hand hammered and embossed in copper, with visible hammer marks and a raised repoussé design that reflects traditional metalworking craftsmanship. Their shield-shaped form gives them a strong heraldic presence and makes them striking decorative wall pieces.

Based on materials, construction, and patina, these plaques are most likely from the early 20th century, possibly late 19th century. The rich surface patina and natural oxidation developed over time give the copper a warm, authentic character that enhances the sculptural quality of the lion motif. The Norwegian lion with axe is a historic national symbol associated with St. Olav and Norway’s medieval heraldic tradition.

Both plaques show honest age-related wear consistent with age and use. One plaque has a small bend at the lower edge, visible in the photos, which does not affect stability or display. Each plaque has a simple hanging mount on the back and is ready for wall display. A rare and highly decorative pair, well suited for collectors of Scandinavian antiques, heraldic art, and handcrafted copper wall decor.
