Plaque Duncan Arms OBE Ministry of Supply Glasgow
Rare Mid-20th Century Painted Bronze Heraldic Plaque – Duncan Family / Order of the British Empire
This rare painted bronze heraldic plaque is a striking example of British armorial art, produced for official display rather than public sale. Richly cast and hand-painted, it bears the arms of the Duncan family, mounted within the Order of the British Empire circlet and badge – a combination directly associated with Sir Andrew Rae Duncan, GBE, Minister of Supply during the Second World War.
Heraldic Achievement
Arms (Shield): Red ground with a gold chevron, between two cinquefoils and a hunting horn – the traditional Duncan family arms.
Crest: A ship under full sail, decorated with red cinquefoils, symbolising Scotland’s seafaring and mercantile tradition.
Supporters: Allegorical figures – one bearing a torch (Enlightenment/Knowledge), the other with a hammer (Industry/Labour).
Motto: CONSILIO ET PRUDENTIA (“By Wisdom and Prudence”).
Order of the British Empire: Encircled by the OBE motto For God and the Empire, with the cross of the order suspended below.
Provenance
Part of the original wooden case that housed this plaque remains, with a label addressed to:
Major Jackson Millar, Regional Controller, Ministry of Supply, 21 Glassford Street, Glasgow.
The Ministry of Supply (1939–1959) oversaw Britain’s wartime and post-war industrial production. This provenance directly connects the plaque to the Glasgow offices, and by extension to Britain’s WWII effort under Sir Andrew Rae Duncan, GBE.
Dating
Securely placed in the mid-20th century, c.1940s–1950s.
Collecting Significance
This plaque unites Scottish heraldry, wartime history, and civic identity in one decorative piece.
It will appeal to collectors of:
Heraldic and armorial art
Scottish history and memorabilia
WWII and Ministry of Supply artefacts
Mid-century decorative bronzes
Summary
A historic and finely crafted 13 kg bronze heraldic plaque, linking the Duncan family arms and the Order of the British Empire to Britain’s wartime industrial heritage in Glasgow. With its impressive scale, bold colour, and documented provenance, it is both a striking decorative statement and a valuable collector’s item.
