A family member took a deep dive into genealogy and managed to track down the Stori family crest. After sharing the info with my husband, he took the mantel and decided to have patches and metal placards made for close family members.
Last Christmas our DIL went one step further and commissioned a wood carver in Germany to recreate one for our son. She was so pleased with the result that she gifted one to 'the husband' for Christmas this year.
Have you investigated your family tree?? It was always assumed our surname Stori had been changed/shortened but apparently not.........its Norwegian heritage has remained the same for well over a century.

The carving is so impressive! Very thoughtful. What meanings are behind the fish and other elements- do you have info on the design?
