Description from the seller
Ancient red wax seal, with a religious motif, depicting a saint standing and holding a staff, surrounded by a partially legible Gothic inscription: “SIGILLUM SANCTI GERVASII” (perhaps a seal dedicated to Saint Gervais). Probably linked to a religious institution (abbey or chapter) under this name.
Northern European workmanship, most likely from the region of the former Netherlands (Belgium).
Seal preserved with its original parchment attachment.
Presented in an old Box from the General Archives of the Realm, suggesting Belgian provenance.
Used but with cracks and wear, yet overall authentic and coherent.
The photos are an integral part of the object description and complement its presentation. Please examine them carefully before any bidding.
The item will be carefully packaged and shipped with a tracking number to ensure fast and secure delivery.
Happy bidding
