The coronet is not a British heraldically correct one, the two coats of arms suggest it is female related, the one on the left her husband, the one on the right hers.

Yes Didier, a real mystery. Because of its construction it's unlikely to be British, and the info from Thomas regarding the Heraldry aspect is interesting to learn. My gut reaction was something to do with Luxembourg, but it's certainly not their National emblem. The Coronet has 9 'spikes', which seems to equate to a Count (as in Dracula), so my best guess is it's from an estate belonging to a Count (Duke?) somewhere in Europe. I like little mysteries like these. I hope the answer can be revealed!
