Vintage Scottish Clan Crest Coat of Arms Bullion Embroidery Framed Heraldry Art

Intricate gold bullion metallic threadwork brings to life the historic Scottish crest featuring the Latin motto “FAC ET SPERO” (“Do and Hope”), associated with Clan Matheson. Set against a rich black velvet ground, this hand-embroidered” Opus Anglicanum” crest displays a arm holding a scimitar emerging from an antique crown, enveloped by a buckled garter strap executed in raised metallic wiring. The textile artwork is double-framed within a beaded gold-tone inner shadowbox border and an outer textured gilt frame, offering a distinguished heritage aesthetic perfect for classic study decor, library walls, or moody maximalist interiors. Scottish bullion embroidery represents a centuries-old tradition of military and family heraldry decoration, where twisted gold, silver and brass metallic threads are meticulously couch-stitched onto velvet or wool ground to create a three-dimensional effect. The motto “Fac Et Spero” captures classic Highland pride, making this framed emblem both a ceremonial keepsake and a refined decorative specimen of British heritage craftsmanship. 13.5 in height, 12.5 in length and 1.5 inch thickness of frame. A fantastic piece for collectors of Scottish crest. Mid-to-Late 20th Century (Circa 1970s–1980s)
