In the scarlet shield is a silver galloping unicorn with golden eyes, a horn and hooves, the black head of the shield is divided by a golden rafter, burdened with three black grenades with a scarlet flame and accompanied by three silver stars with five rays.

The shield is crowned with a count crown and three count helmets. Two right helmets are crowned. Crests - the middle - a black crowned imperial eagle with red eyes, tongues and golden beaks and claws, the second is a silver standing unicorn with golden eyes, a horn and hooves, the third is a black life campaign hat decorated with an imperial eagle and three ostrich feathers, located between two black eagle wings, each with three silver five-pointed stars. The hints of the middle and third helmets are black with gold, the second - scarlet with silver. Shield holders: a silver unicorn with golden eyes, a horn and hooves, and a silver neck with golden eyes and tongue. Motto: “FOR Fidelity and Jealousy” in silver letters on a scarlet ribbon. The coat of arms of Counts Shuvalovs is included in Part 12 of the General Tombstone of the noble families of the All-Russian Empire, p. 13.

When the Shuvalovs' coat of arms was added to the General Stamp (in 1882), the details were not changed: the unicorn's tail, in accordance with the European coat of arms traditions, became a lion from a horse, and the side grenades at the head of the shield were located vertically (and not with an inclination towards the center as in old life campaigns). The special united coat of arms belonged in turn to the sons of Count Andrei Pavlovich Shuvalov, Pavel and Mikhail, who inherited the majorate, established by their maternal grandfather, Field Marshal, His Grace Prince Mikhail Semenovich Vorontsov . Together with the mayorate, the title, coat of arms and the surname of the grandfather and the right to henceforth be called the High Princes Vorontsov counts Shuvalov passed to them.
