This regal antique French Coat of Arms could have been attached to a pair of gates at the entrance of a chateau  or used in its interior over a mantel or on a wall.  Coats of arms with crowns represent the families of Royalty.  Everything  on a coat of arms has a particular meaning and requires a good amount of time to research.  Since a patent was applied for on this particular one, it should have some interesting importance.
