About the Item

Title: 1706 Heraldic Engraving of Scotland’s Unicorn and Royal Arms by Coronelli Description: This elegant antique print, likely from Vincenzo Maria Coronelli’s 'Isole Britanniche: Inghilterra, Scozia, Irlanda', published around 1706 in Venice, showcases the royal coat of arms of Scotland in a finely detailed heraldic composition. Coronelli, a celebrated Venetian cartographer and engraver, crafted this piece using hand-colored engraving, a technique that blends precise line work with subtle watercolor hues to bring vibrancy to the symbolic imagery. The central shield, adorned with a rampant red lion within a double tressure flory-counter-flory, is crowned with a golden coronet, symbolizing Scotland’s monarchy. Flanking the shield are a lion and a unicorn, traditional supporters representing strength and purity, respectively, rendered with Coronelli’s characteristic attention to detail. A draped crimson curtain, tied with golden tassels, forms a regal backdrop, enhancing the ceremonial tone of the artwork. This print reflects the early 18th-century fascination with heraldry, particularly in the context of the British Isles, as Scotland navigated its identity following the 1707 Acts of Union. Coronelli’s work often combined cartographic precision with decorative artistry, making this piece a striking example of his ability to capture both historical significance and aesthetic beauty. A rare find, this print offers collectors of heraldic art or early modern European prints a window into Scotland’s royal heritage through the lens of one of Venice’s most prolific engravers. Condition Report: The print shows light fading of colors and minor edge discoloration, typical for its age. There are no tears or creases, but faint foxing is present. The paper is stable, though fragile, requiring careful handling. Framing Tips: Use an ornate frame in antique gold or deep burgundy to match the regal theme. A cream or pale gold mat complements the colors. Avoid bright frames; opt for rich, muted tones to enhance the print’s historical elegance.
