This wax seal stamp features the contemporary Coat of Arms of Sweden (Sveriges riksvapen), the official heraldic emblem of the Swedish monarchy and state. The design represents centuries of royal tradition, tracing its lineage back to the medieval House of Vasa and earlier Swedish kings.
The shield is divided into four quarters: two display the Three Crowns (Tre Kronor), Sweden’s most recognisable symbol dating from the 14th century and still used as the national emblem today, while the other two bear the Folkung lion, a heraldic reference to the influential medieval noble House of Bjelbo (House of Folkung). At the centre rests an inescutcheon with the arms of the reigning royal house, currently the House of Bernadotte, established in 1818. The shield is supported by crowned lions, surmounted by the Royal Crown of Sweden, and surrounded by the Order of the Seraphim’s chain, Sweden’s most prestigious order of chivalry.
This coat of arms represents Swedish unity, sovereignty, and royal heritage from the medieval era through to the present day. Perfect for historians, heraldry enthusiasts, or those with Swedish heritage, this wax seal stamp allows you to bring the grandeur of Scandinavian royalty into your own letters and creative projects. Whether used for reenactments, personal correspondence, or as a collector’s piece, it reflects a symbol still in official state use today.
This wax seal is ideal for history lovers, heraldry collectors, and anyone fascinated by the royal traditions of Sweden. It makes a meaningful gift for those with Swedish ancestry or a love of Northern European history.
