Rendition of arms by
Andrew S. JamiesonSpanish Blasón: Partido de azur y gules, y sobre el
todo un castillo de oro de dos torres, surmontado un búho del mismo
metal con las alas desplegadas, cargando sobre su pecho una pera de
azur; bordura componada de veintidós piezas de oro y gules, cargadas
estas ultimas de un copihue floreciente, de oro. Timbre: yelmo antiguo
de hidalgo, de acero bruñido, sumado de un burelete gules y oro, de
donde asoman tres plumas de avestruz de los colores rojo, oro y azur,
respectivamente. Lambrequines: gules y oro. Lleva por lema: Sapere
aude.
The arms represent elements of the ancestral origins of the
Perez-Ramirez family in Asturias Spain, as well as elements allegoric
of Cataluña and Chile. Asturias, the land of the Armiger's paternal
ancestors is represented by the Azure, the colour of the flag of
Asturias and the pear symbolising the patronymic name Perez. The twin
towered castle represents the Catalan last name Castells for the
armiger's wife's maiden name and is also a source of strength. The
bordure compony Gules and Or is allegoric of the Catalan flag. On each
Gules of the compony, the national flower of Chile depicted Or, ("The
Copihue"), symbolises the armiger's birth place. The owl in the centre
of the shield stands for Wisdom and Knowledge.
The armiger is a Knight of Yuste (Spain), Knight Grand Cross of the
Order of Saint Michael of the Wing (Portugal) and Knight of the Corps
of the Asturian Nobility, Spain [Cuerpo Colegiado de la Nobleza del
Principado de Asturias].
