General Information
Keith Lake spent 25 years in the Royal Navy serving in many ships where he developed an interest in naval heraldic crests/badges. This then became a hobby and Keith produced painted crests for his shipmates as mementoes and gifts. Many of these are now no doubt decorating various 'hostelries' around the world.
On leaving the navy Keith worked in the defence and tourism industries but continued with his ships crests, however after many requests expanded into Scottish clans. Studying the market, Keith decided that presentation, along with customer service and fair pricing was all important in this competitive area.
Years on, these policies haven't changed and Keith now works his craft from home as a low volume producer supplying discerning clients both at home in the UK and abroad.
- Each of our clan crests goes through a procedure involving sculpting, making a mould, casting a copy which produces a superb 3 dimensional image and then painting to the stated heraldic guide lines.
- This detailed handcrafting process means every piece is slightly different and therefore unique!
- The crest is mounted on a shield with the genuine clan tartan before being applied with the name to a linen faced inner frame (giving the required depth) before final sealing into the outside glazed frame which ensures, a beautiful dust free presentation.
- Most clans are available and will be despatched shortly after order clearance, but allow 28 days for delivery. If you have a spelling variation of the clan/family name, let us know and we will apply it. The full prefix of Mac will be used unless otherwise specified.
- Please look at the testimonials from previous customers.
- Crests have now been reduced to £29.50 each plus delivery. This means £33.00 delivered UK and approximately $60.00 to the US and its equivalent price worldwide.
