Italian Coat of Arms - Hand-Painted Stemma Tiles for Italian Heritage

How We Create Your Italian Coat of Arms Tile

Tell us the name of your town or village and we will research the correct coat of arms for that comune, checking the official civic crest so the design matches the place precisely. If you only have partial details, an approximate spelling, a province name, a region, or even a family memory of “near Naples” or “in Abruzzo”, send us what you know and we’ll narrow it down with you. If you prefer, we can also create the crest for a province or region, ideal when your heritage is tied to a wider area, or when several nearby towns share the same family story and you want a symbol that represents the whole province or region.

Once the correct stemma has been identified, it is painted by hand onto a ceramic tile by our artisan painter, with careful attention to colour, linework and heraldic detail so it feels authentic and finely finished. You can choose a clean white background for a crisp, gallery-style look, or a subtly tinted background for a warmer, more traditional feel. You can also request a decorative border, a simple framing line, or a clean modern edge, so the finished tile suits your home, whether your style is classic, rustic, or contemporary. The result is a heritage piece that looks like it belongs on the wall, not a printed reproduction.

Worldwide Shipping & Gift Sending

We ship worldwide with tracked services, so you can send an Italian heritage gift confidently across borders and still follow its journey. Sending directly to the recipient? Add a personal message and we’ll include it with the order, and we do not place prices in the parcel, so it arrives as a true gift. If you’re gifting for a birthday, anniversary, housewarming, retirement or family celebration, a hand-painted coat of arms tile is especially effective because it feels personal without needing the recipient’s size, taste in jewellery, or home décor preferences. And if you’re unsure which place crest to use, town, province, or region, tell us the story behind the gift and any location details you have, and we’ll help you choose the right stemma for the strongest connection.

Gift-Ready Options: Plain Tile or Chestnut Frame

Our hand-painted tiles are available as a plain 30cm × 30cm tile, or supplied in a handcrafted chestnut frame (37cm × 37cm overall), giving you two distinct ways to display the piece. The unframed tile is ideal if you want a clean, contemporary look, plan to mount it in your own frame, or wish to incorporate it into an indoor feature wall. The framed version creates an immediate “finished” presentation, warm, traditional, and ready to hang, making it a striking wall piece that feels substantial and gift-ready straight away. It is especially popular for family gifts, milestone occasions, and anyone who wants their Italian roots displayed with pride.

These tiles are designed for indoor display and can also be included in an interior tile montage, where they become part of a wider story of travel, family, and place. They are not suitable for outdoor use, but indoors they hold their presence beautifully, whether in an entryway, kitchen, study, or family room. If you’re sending directly to the recipient, we can include a personal message, and we do not show prices in the parcel, keeping the focus on the meaning of the gift. If you’d like guidance on where it will look best, or which background and border style will suit the recipient’s home, just tell us the room style and we’ll advise.
