AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Old ecclesiastical seal – 19th century
A solid brass antique seal, mounted on a turned wooden handle, bearing the imprint of a mitred bishop holding his crozier. The peripheral legend reads: “S. AIGNAN DE MOULINS-LES-NOYERS · Près Dᵢocᵉˢᵉ DE SENS”
This is clearly a parish or confraternal seal, probably made in the 19th century judging by the engraving style (naive but clear, classic text layout, regular capital letter) and the shape of the handle.
The brass shows an authentic, old patina, without over-polishing.
The wooden handle has a few purple ink stains, typical of use in a rectory or sacristy.
Dimensions: Total height: 12 cm - Diameter of the matrix: 3.5 cm
Provenance: Private collection.
The photos are an integral part of the object description and complement its presentation. Please examine them carefully before bidding
The object will be carefully packed and shipped with tracking number, to guarantee fast and secure delivery.
