This seal is in good condition. It has no handle. Please note: dirt (oxidation) and wear over time on the seal, see photos. We are selling a large number of seals from this same collection on this site. *Stamp: Collector's item, the oldest examples of which date from four millennia BC. The stamp was first used to affix the personal mark of a character to guarantee the contents of a box or an envelope, the authenticity of a document. We also used the term seal. The small personal stamp has in fact been used in Europe since the Middle Ages. It can be a ring mounted with an intaglio of hard stone, or a gold bezel engraved in hollow (signet rings are nothing else!). But more numerous are the hafted seals, formed of a hard stone engraved in intaglio: carnelian, garnet, sapphire, rock crystal, agate; some are even antique intaglios. These small stamps are sometimes jewels that are hung on a chain or on the chatelaine; like boxes, it is often a gift item. These seals vary in size: we find tiny ones set in pretty chased gold frames, others 1.5 to 2cm in diameter mounted on a handle of gold, pomponne, chased silver, mother-of-pearl, hard stone, wood... ** Coat of arms: in terms of coat of arms and collection, we rather say "the weapons". For an object, the fact of being emblazoned is a quality which can be a source of slight added value. A coat of arms, surmounted by a count's or marquis's crown, always flatters the vanity of its owner. The presence of weapons is often a sign of quality and makes it possible to establish the provenance of an object, provided however that heraldic research is carried out.
