Description: These seals are from a private collection put together many decades ago by an English gentleman, scholar and avid collector of great royal seals. Lost and forgot about for many years they have only just recently been found and reproduced making them available for the collector again. King Henry VIII. 3rd Great Seal. Obverse - Red This is the great seal of one of our best known kings of England, King Henry VIII. Apart from having six wives, he declared himself head of the church of England after the dissolution of the monasteries. Although considered to have had a tyrannical reign, he created the Royal Navy, published the bible in to English, promoted education and free thought, his actions helped shape England to the country is today. This reproduction is the obverse side and has been taken from a copy that would have been produced directly from an original impression in wax. Preserved for hundreds of years this copy shows the fine detail of the original and makes the perfect addition for any collection. Each monarch of England would have had their own unique great royal seal. These seals were affixed to documentation to show and prove their authentication and validate that they are genuine in the absence of the monarch themselves. Originally these would have been made from wax and held together a document or scroll by a cord passing through the wax seal. Our reproductions capture all the fine detail of the original wax casting and are moulded and then hand cast in a resin composite to produce a very accurate and high quality reproduction. • Our Exclusive & unique range of items make the most perfect & unusual gift for all occasions and one that shows a true thought in choosing from the sender • This is great opportunity to purchase a true piece of England’s Rich cultural History. • All our items are handmade in the UK by Oakapple Designs Ltd Approximately 12 cm in diameter and comes with D-Ring to wall mount.
