This large Gyllenhaal coat of arms (Nr 814) sculpted in wood was owned by Lars Herman Gyllenhaal (d. 1957), the grandson of the Excellence Lars Herman Gyllenhaal (d. 1865). Before that it was in the possession of Augusta Jakobina Charlotta Gyllenhaal (1833-1912), one of the daughters of Carl Henrik Gyllenhaal, who became the family's first friherre (baron) in 1837. A turn of the century photograph of Augusta's apartment shows the sculpture belonged to her at that time. She may have inherited it from her father.
