English citations of embrassé

embrassé à dextre
{{lb|en|heraldry}} Divided into three sections by a triangle which has the left or right edge of the shield as its base; divided like chaussé or chapé but from the sinister or dexter side rather than from the top or bottom.
  • 1892, John Woodward, George Burnett, A Treatise on Heraldry, British and Foreign: With English and French Glossaries, page 90:
    When the chapé, or chaussé, is placed in a horizontal instead of in a vertical direction (that is when the apex of the pile is on either the dexter or the sinister flank of the escucheon) the field is said to be embrassé (à dextre, or à senestre). Thus the Von Völcker of Frankfurt bear: Argent, a rose gules, the field embrassé à senestre of the second.
