18th Century Copper Coat Of Arms

An oil on copper representing a coat of arms, in its original gilded wood frame, very much worked in one piece.
A motto written in Latin: sola virtus honor.

Italy, late 17th early 18th century

On a blue background a fleur-de-lis and two intertwining.
The fleur-de-lis as presented (three petals, one central, straight, accompanied on each side by a shorter petal curved outwards) is a symbol of power, linked to French royalty and nobles, but can also be found in other countries.
In heraldry, "true faith" often refers to Christianity as two hands clasping each other. When the fabric of the sleeve is of a different enamel, it is said to be clothed.
On a red background is a moon crossing in profile, the inner line of which shows a profile of a human head.
On a beige background a tawny animal attached to a tree. Probably a leopard, a lion or a fantasy animal of the order of the chimera.
Finally, on a light beige background, two footless pots with a handle.
