Rated Excellent on Trustpilot.
Religious ecclesiastical seal from the 19th century, in solid brass mounted on a turned wooden handle, with a 12 cm overall height and a 3.5 cm matrix diameter, in very good condition and original.
Description from the seller
Ancient seal in solid brass, mounted on a turned wooden handle, bearing the impression of a mitred bishop holding his crozier. The peripheral inscription is: “S. AIGNAN DE MOULINS-LES-NOYERS · Près Dᵢocᵉˢᵉ DE SENS”
It is clearly a parish or confraternal seal, probably made in the 19th century judging by the engraving style (naive but clear lines, classical distribution of the text, regular capital letters) and the shape of the handle.
The brass shows an authentic and antique patina, with no over-polishing.
The wooden handle has a few purple ink stains, typical of use in an old rectory or sacristy.
Dimensions: Total height: 12 cm - Matrix diameter: 3.5 cm
Provenance: Private collection.
The photos are an integral part of the item description and complement its presentation. They allow the condition and features to be appreciated. Please examine them carefully before any purchase.
The item will be carefully packed and shipped with a tracking number, to ensure fast and secure delivery.
