Description from the seller
Antique ecclesiastical badge – Saint Loup (Loÿs) – Diocese of Sens – 19th century
Solid brass badge mounted on a turned wooden handle, depicting a bishop in liturgical robes holding a crozier.
The peripheral inscription reads: “✠ ST LOUP ✠ PR DE GESVE – DIOCESE OF SENS”.
(The most coherent interpretation: Saint Loup, probably 'Prieuré de Gesves / Gesve / Gésve'… the exact toponym is not clear; the engraving appears handcrafted and abbreviated.
The matrix is oval, decorated with a hatched background typical of 19th-century engravings. The handle, original, shows a consistent patina, with no visible restoration.
The metal ring above the matrix is decorated with floral motifs engraved with a burin, a detail uncommon on parish seals and typical of artisanal productions from the second half of the 19th century.
Dimensions: Total height: 10 cm - Matrix: 3.5 x 2.5 cm
State: homogeneous patina, consistent signs of use, legible engraving, stable handle.
Provenance: Private collection.
Photos are an integral part of the description of the objects and complement their presentation. They allow you to assess their condition and characteristics. Please examine them carefully before any commitment.
The item will be carefully packaged and shipped with a tracking number to ensure fast and secure delivery.
