Item Details

A fine heraldic painting on stretched vellum, depicting the impaled (marital) arms of Sparrow (possibly Sparrow-Hanbury) and Rogers. So the left side is the husband's arms (Sparrow) and right side is the wife's family arms (Rogers).

To the reverse we have the following inscription, probably written as instructions by the College of Arms to the artist of the piece;
"The Armorial Ensigns of Sparrow Hanbury impaling those of Rogers, to be used by William Marden(?) Sparrow Esq. & Alice his wife, daughter of Thomas Rogers Esq. Windsor Herald"

The achievement is painted in polychrome with extensive gilt highlighting and bears the motto “IN DEO SOLO SALUS EST” - “In God alone is salvation”, a motto associated with the Sparrow family.

Mounted in a period, carved ebonised and gilded wooden frame. At a later stage the rear board / panel has been replaced with glass so that the inscription to the reverse can be seen.


English, late Georgian period, circa 1790–1810.


The piece measures 30.5cm high x 25.5cm wide x 2.6cm deep.
