Petersburg Coat of Arms 1730-1856 (Russia) Vinyl Decal: Design Description

This vinyl decal showcases the historic coat of arms of Saint Petersburg, Russia, as it appeared from 1730 to 1856. The design centers around a vibrant red (gules) shield, providing a bold backdrop for the heraldic elements.

Key Visual Elements

At the heart of the design, a golden (yellow) scepter rises vertically. This scepter is topped with the imposing Russian imperial double-headed eagle, a symbol of the monarchy and Saint Petersburg's status as a former imperial capital.

Crossed beneath the scepter, two silver (argent) anchors are prominently displayed. These anchors represent the city's unique position as both a sea port and a river port. One is a sea anchor, distinguished by its two blades, with its flukes oriented towards the upper left. The other is a river anchor, identified by its four blades, with its flukes pointing towards the upper right.

Symbolism and Meaning

The two crossed anchors powerfully symbolize Saint Petersburg's dual maritime role, highlighting its location at the meeting of the sea and rivers. The scepter, crowned with the imperial eagle, signifies the city’s historical importance as the capital of the Russian Empire and its connection to the monarchy.

The red background, while open to interpretation, is often associated with the bloodshed endured during the wars fought by Russia to gain access to the sea, particularly during the Great Northern War. This adds a layer of historical depth and significance to the visual elements of the coat of arms.

Glossy kiss-cut vinyl stickers made for smooth, indoor surfaces — laptops, journals, mirrors, and other finished items. Crisp edges, vivid color, strong hold, and not waterproof.

What “kiss-cut” means: the blade cuts the vinyl layer into the exact shape while leaving the backing liner whole, so pieces separate cleanly and lift off the sheet without tearing. It’s the neatest way to produce shaped stickers and multi-piece sheets.

  • Material: reliable vinyl face with a permanent acrylic adhesive formulated for smooth, non-porous surfaces.
  • Finish: glossy surface that enhances contrast and depth without feeling overly reflective.
  • Printing: eco-solvent inks provide dense color and crisp detail for fine lines and gradients.
  • Use case: intended for indoor environments only — not waterproof. Not recommended for continuous exposure to moisture or dishwashing.
  • Application friendly: easy-peel backing and a liner that releases cleanly to help reduce bubbles and misfeeds during placement.

These stickers perform best on smooth, dust-free surfaces — think laptop lids, sealed notebooks, glass, mirrors, finished shelving and lockers. They’ll stick well where the surface is flat and clean; avoid rough wood, silicone, fabric, and heavily textured paint.

  1. Clean: remove dust and oils with a lint-free cloth. For stubborn grime, use a mild soap and water rinse; let the area dry completely.
  2. Align: peel a corner, position carefully, then press the center down first.
  3. Smooth: work outward from the center with a soft card or a thumb to push air out and ensure the edges set down firmly.

Tip: give the adhesive 24 hours to fully settle before heavy handling. These are not designed for outdoor or wet conditions.

  • Gently dust with a soft, dry cloth, moving from the center outward to avoid scratching the gloss.
  • For light marks, a barely damp microfiber will lift residue — blot, don’t scrub, and dry right away.
  • Avoid bleach, solvents, abrasive pads, and steam; moisture or harsh chemicals can lift edges and fade inks.

Reminder: these stickers are not waterproof. Keep them away from sinks, outdoor exposure, and dishwasher cycles to maintain adhesion and finish.

Sizes are measured across the sticker’s longest side. For example, a 3″ sticker is 3 inches across its largest dimension (height or width, depending on the shape).

The kiss-cut follows the sticker’s outline for a tidy border; complex shapes can show small variances, but the advertised measurement refers to the maximum edge-to-edge length.
