Description from the seller
Pair of Vintage Polish State Emblem Plaques — White Eagle on Red — Embossed Metal — PRL Era 1960s–80s
A striking and historically significant pair of original vintage Polish state emblem plaques, featuring the iconic White Eagle (Orzeł Biały) — the national coat of arms of Poland — embossed in relief on a vivid red shield-shaped background. Originally displayed in public buildings, government offices, courts, schools, or official institutions during the PRL era.
Features:
Motif: Polish White Eagle (Orzeł Biały) — national coat of arms, without crown (PRL version)
Form: Traditional heraldic shield shape with pointed base
Construction: Embossed/pressed metal — high relief eagle in cream/white on red background
Finish: Glossy lacquered surface — vivid red and cream
Condition: Good to very good — original lacquer with minor chips and surface marks consistent with age and institutional use
Origin: Poland (PRL)
Period: 1960s–1980s
Sold as: Pair of 2
Note: The eagle shown is the PRL version without crown — the crown was removed from the emblem during the communist period and restored after 1989, making this an authentic period piece.
Highly sought after by collectors of Polish history, heraldic art, and communist-era memorabilia. A powerful and decorative wall piece.
Shipping: Sent via registered and fully tracked courier service.
