STRONG WAX SEAL OF THE PROVOST COURT OF THE... - Lot 93 - Osenat
STRONG WAX SEAL OF THE PROVOST COURT OF THE DEPARTMENT OF BOUCHES DU RHONE. In brass, with the big arms of France surrounded by the collars of the orders of the King. Handle in wood. Diameter : 4 cm. Height : 14 cm. B.E. Restoration period. These courts were instituted in each department in July 1815 "because of the misfortunes of the times which brought mourning throughout France and the consequences of the Hundred Days". They were certainly one of the instruments of the White Terror, but above all a tool for judging much more common disputes.
