1937 British Architectural Original Barclays Bank Eagle Bird Wall Plaque Sculpture
Size: H14 x W11.5 in.
Silver Plated and Bronze.

This is a rare and iconic piece of architectural heritage. This original sculpture features the majestic Barclays Bank eagle, a symbol that has graced the facades of Barclays buildings since 1728, when it became the bank's official coat of arms. Crafted with meticulous detail, this sculpture captures the grandeur and prestige of one of Britain's most esteemed financial institutions. With its roots tracing back to the iconic Black Spread Eagle sign at 54 Lombard Street in London, this emblem has evolved over the centuries, reflecting the evolution of Barclays' identity. From its historic beginnings to its modern adaptations, including the 1937 transformation into the bank's official coat of arms, and subsequent updates like the 1999 redesign commissioned to soften its appearance, the Barclays eagle represents strength, stability, and trust in the world of finance.
