This is a long shot but thinking someone might recognize it. We have this weird chair at our church in Nevada. It's carved with wolves and griffins, has a double headed eagle on the upholstery, and has this royal monogram which is possibly AJ. Did an image search but nothing matched. Any help? Please boost. #Monogram#monogrammistjg#geschichte#Monographienbearbeitung#Möbel#history#furniture
Monogram on the Glasgow Style warehouse on the corner of Glassford Street and Wilson Street in Glasgow. Built in 1908, it was designed by Robertson and Dobbie for Gordon Brothers. The monogram is that of W.P. Gordon, and I particularly like the dragons ans the greenman at its base.
Intricately carved Glasgow Stock Exchange monogram over a door on Nelson Mandela Place While most of this building was constructed in the 1870s, this western extenstion was built in the early 1900s.
The monogram on the Linsday Tenement on Snuff Mill Road in Cathcart, Glasgow. Built in 1863 by the local mill-owner David Lindsay as housing for his workers, this over-complicated carving is every letter of his surname overlaid on top of each other, so somewhat missing the point of a monogram.
I’m finally trying to draw a TG monogram for myself!
While doing some research, I found this kind of old english blackletter G, and I immediately saw a rooster in the counter. 🐓
And guess what? My family name Goguely comes from Coquely, which literally means “little rooster” (“petit coq” in French). Does it work? Do you see it too? 🧐
Is it better with the eye, with the long vertical line drawing the beak, or the “classic” one with the short line?
