AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Spanish Heraldic Seal in 18k Gold – Family Tradition – Circa 1870-1880 – Unique Gentleman Piece – 9 g
We present an exceptional 18-karat gold heraldic seal, designed as a family emblem with a classic European aesthetic and clearly Spanish roots. The piece stylistically dates back to the 1870s-1880s, a period of splendor for noble jewelry and heraldry applied to personal objects, making it a rare opportunity for high-end collectors.
The seal measures 2.6 × 2.2 cm and features a deeply crafted heraldic motif at its center, depicting a noble shield with an ornate helmet and traditional symbols, evoking the history of lineages and the formal identification functions associated with sealed documents.
With a significant weight of 9 grams and an inner diameter of 2.2 cm, this piece is not just a jewel but an authentic functional seal from the era, originally intended to mark correspondence, seals, or official documents. Its solid construction, combined with an elegant synthesis of tradition and practicality, makes it a highly valued object among jewelers as well as heraldry and historical object collectors.
The manufacturing in solid 18k gold (750) ensures durability and nobility, with this karatage being the standard used in seal pieces intended for actual use and social distinction in the 19th century. The piece shows wear consistent with its original use, which adds authenticity and character without compromising its beauty or structural integrity.
