This is a very good looking and well made coat of arms, the full history of the crest is dated below, I’m unsure of the exact of this piece, looking at the quality of the sceptre crown and the timber patina I would say mid Victorian but it could be earlier

Origin/meaning
When the arms were officially granted is not known, but it is likely that the arms were granted by King Edward III (1327-1377). He made York his capital when fighting the Scots. The arms show the cross of St. George, the patron saint of England, and the lion of England. The arms were officially recorded in 1587 after the 1584 Visitation.
The right to use the sword, mace and cap by the mayor of York was granted in 1396 by King Richard II, when York received county status. The cap is normally only used by dukes, not by cities. Even though these attributes are not formally granted, they have been used behind the arms since the 18th century.
