Wary Meyers Painted Crests

Giddy up, giddy up, giddy up, halt. This is the next stop on the Been There, Slain That Medieval Homes Caravan Tour.

Behold, good fairies of luxury, the latest in personalization: your bespoke coats of arms. Note the crest of the Dilapidated Brownstone Dwellers. The seal of the Wandering Barnard Minds. Hark, who goes there? Ah, it’s the Dutchess of Fairway Marketplace.

The handsome, hand-painted crests can be emblazoned on scrolls, stenciled on walls, stamped onto stationery — what have you — and are the handiwork of Wary Meyers, the interior design duo that is taking heraldry to the next level.

Even the lowest of serfs can mark his territory with a custom seal that incorporates images (French horns) or icons (unicorns) that suit his personality. In black and white ink and a bevy of watercolors, the crests are the ultimate symbol of a high-design lifestyle.

And a tasteful way to bear arms.
