AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Rare and highly decorative 19th-century Masonic certificate, issued in Poona (present-day Pune), British India, in 1890.
The document was issued by the Horeb Lodge of Excellent Masters, working in Poona under the Royal Arch Chapter of St Andrew in the East No. 68, on the Roll of the Supreme Grand Chapter of Scotland.
The certificate was awarded to:
Brother Alexander Macintosh Horrels
It records that Horrels was already a Master Mason and had taken the degrees of Mark Master and Past Master, before being admitted to the degree of Excellent Master in the Horeb Lodge on 15 February 1890 (A.L. 5894).
The document was subsequently signed and witnessed on 12 June 1890.
This is an especially interesting survivor of Scottish Freemasonry in British India. Historical Masonic records confirm the presence of the Horeb Lodge of Excellent Masters at Poona during the 19th century, in connection with the Royal Arch establishment of St Andrew in the East.
The certificate is particularly attractive, with elaborate Victorian typography and calligraphy and a prominent five-pointed star containing Masonic characters/symbols at the top.
It bears several original handwritten signatures of the lodge officers, including the Right Worshipful Master, Senior Warden, Junior Warden and Secretary.
Alexander Macintosh Horrels’ own signature also appears in the designated margin of the certificate, providing an additional personal and historical element.
A fascinating and uncommon document relating to the presence of Scottish Freemasonry in colonial India, dating from the period of the British Raj.
Particularly suitable for collectors of:
Freemasonry – British India – Scottish Masonic history – Royal Arch Masonry – Victorian historical documents – Colonial memorabilia.
