AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Genuine heraldic seal in pink-tinted rock crystal, mounted in silver and original fitted case – early 19th century.
Accompanied by a handwritten document on which one can read: Seal of the aunt of Burdinne, born Baronne de Stassart. Given by Germaine Coppers and d'Eeckentrugghe to Pierre Bouschamps, on 15 April 1925.
A high-quality armorial seal, consisting of an oval matrix in pink-tinted faceted rock crystal, finely engraved in intaglio of noble heraldry.
The highly developed heraldic design features a shield topped by a crown, flanked by two lion supporters, accompanied by banners and a crest.
The finesse of the engraving appears particularly evident through the transparency of the stone.
The matrix is set in a silver mount extended by an elegant pierced handle in a scroll pattern. The reverse is left plain.
The seal is preserved in its antique black leather case, molded to its shape and lined inside with green velvet, showing the normal wear associated with its age.
An old handwritten label, kept with the set and dated “Brussels, 15 April 1925”, documents its family provenance. It mentions, according to a probable reading: “Seal of the aunt of Burstinne, born baroness of Sinssard…”. This attribution remains to be confirmed by genealogical and heraldic study. Period: 19th century.
A fine object of sigillography and heraldry, remarkable for the quality and complexity of its engraving as well as for the preservation of its case and its ancient provenance.
Provenance: Private collection.
The photos are an integral part of the object descriptions and complement their presentation. They allow you to assess its condition and characteristics. Please examine them carefully before any engagement.
The item will be carefully packaged and shipped with a tracking number to ensure fast and secure delivery.
