AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A representative Danish royal ordination document from the early reign of Christian X, equipped with a large state coat of arms, decorative typography, blind embossed seal, and original signatures of the royal chancellery.
Christian X (1870–1947). Royal commission/appointment document (Ansættelsesbrev) for Torben Johan Wörishöffer, Knight of the Order of the Dannebrog and Dannebrog man. Printed and handwritten filled-in form text on thick paper, dated at Amalienborg Castle, December 17, 1919. Double-sided folio sheet, ca. 34 × 41 cm, with a large printed royal coat of arms, magnificent calligraphic heading, large blind embossed seal on the paper dust jacket, and several signatures in its own hand.
--------------------------------------
The document confirms the royal appointment or employment of Torben Johan Wörishöffer as lieutenant colonel of infantry. At the same time, the rights and duties associated with the office are defined. The text obliges the officer to diligently perform his duties, to observe the applicable regulations, and to remain loyal to the Crown and the Reich in accordance with the oath taken.
Through its elaborate design with a large state coat of arms, decorative calligraphy, blind embossing seal, and original signatures, the document represents an impressive testament to the Danish monarchy immediately after the First World War. Documents of this quality are of particular interest both militarily and philately-wise.
--------------------------------------
Overall well-preserved exemplar with the usual central folds and minor signs of use, the blind embossed seal is complete, and the calligraphic as well as printed elements are clear and impactful.
