Description
Exemplary King Henry II of France Signed Document with Original Red Wax Seal - Elegantly Framed. Esteemed collectors, royal enthusiasts, and connoisseurs of historical artifacts, we take immense pleasure in presenting one of the most extraordinary items from our collection—an authentic signed document cut from King Henry II of France's reign (1519–1559), meticulously preserved with its original red wax seal. Henry II was King of France from March 1547 until his death in 1559. The second son of Francis I and Duchess Claude of Brittany. Henry pursued his father's policies in matters of art, war, and religion. He persevered in the Italian Wars against the Habsburgs and tried to suppress the Reformation, even as the Huguenot numbers were increasing drastically in France during his reign. In July 1559, Henry was injured in a jousting tournament and died ten days later after his surgeon, Ambroise Paré, was unable to cure the wound inflicted by Gabriel de Montgomery, the captain of his Scottish Guard. This prized artifact is a 2.5x4.5 inches document cut, containing original text in the authentic hand of Henry II himself, an illustration of 16th Century royal script. The parchment keeps the essence of the Renaissance alive, inviting its future owner into a captivating chapter of French history. The document bares a vivid, beautifully kept red wax seal—common to the period of Henry II's reign, serving as an official emblem of royal authority. Age has lent a uniquely attractive patina to the wax seal, resulting in a fascinating study of time and historical value. Embellishing the parchment is the signature of King Henry II, a tangible connection to one of the most notable periods of French history. This autograph represents a bridge to the age of exciting jousts, royal intrigue, and Renaissance culture. This invaluable piece of history is artistically presented in a custom-made, exhibition-quality frame. The sophisticated frame design, featuring a tasteful contrast of the neutral mount and matte-black frame, ensures that focus is drawn to the document cut and wax seal. The signature, document, and wax seal all come authenticated by a leading third-party authentication company, providing an attendant certificate of authenticity to instill assurance and confidence in your acquisition. Henry II of France artifacts hold immense attraction for collectors due to the monarch's influential impact on French Renaissance culture and architecture.
