Preppy Antique English School Framed Crest Patch Armorial Coat of Arms Wall Art

Add a touch of heritage and academic charm to your space with this preppy antique English School Crest, beautifully framed and full of storied detail. This armorial coat of arms features the elements associated with Sir Andrew Judde-a prominent 16th-century English merchant and Lord Mayor of London in 1550. Known for his philanthropy and influence, Judde founded Tonbridge School in Kent and maintained ties to Judde House at The Skinners' School-both of which continue to honor his legacy today.

This blazer crest likely originates from one of these institutions, reflecting a proud tradition of scholarship and service. The crest itself is richly embroidered with aged gold bullion thread, showcasing a rampant lion and a boar's head-symbols of strength, courage, and resilience. The piece is mounted on a beige background with deep blue matte and a hand-painted gold border, lending a classic and dignified appearance. The frame, dating to around 1915, complements the refined style with its vintage character and preserved elegance. Framed dimensions are approximately 8.25 wide, 8.75 inches high, 0.75 inch deep, making it an ideal size for wall hanging or shelf display. The patch measures 3.5 inches by 3.25 inches. Good antique condition with signs of wear and use. Stand in photos is not included. Please review the photos for further condition assessment. Whether you're drawn to English school tradition, heraldic design, or just love a touch of preppy academic decor, this framed crest is a sophisticated accent and conversation piece. Perfect for libraries, studies, or refined interiors with a collegiate or historical flair. A beautiful nod to the past-and an emblem of lasting legacy. Check out our other antique listings.
