Cast in one piece between the 13th and 15th century, it carries the quiet authority of a personal seal once pressed into warm wax to close a letter or authenticate a merchant's hand.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDetails:\u003cbr\u003eEra: Late Medieval, 13th–15th Century CE\u003cbr\u003eMaterial: Silver\u003cbr\u003eRing Size: EU 58 \/ US 8,5\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Excellent preservation with dark sulfide tarnish settled in the recesses and natural wear bright on the high points\u003cbr\u003eProvenance: From a private Belgian collection, acquired between the 1960s and 1990s\u003cbr\u003eUnique Identifier: R-197-S\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eRestoration and Authenticity\u003cbr\u003eOffered in its original and cleaned condition with no modern repairs.\u003cbr\u003eA Certificate of Authenticity is included.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHistorical Context:\u003cbr\u003eThe fleur-de-lys was among the most enduring emblems of late medieval Europe — at once royal, heraldic, and devotional, often linked to the Virgin Mary. Cast silver signet rings bearing this motif were carried by merchants, minor gentry, and clerics across France, the Low Countries, and neighbouring regions, used to seal correspondence and mark personal identity. As an antique ring with engraved iconography and documented provenance, 'Lysenne' belongs to a well-studied tradition of medieval personal seals.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhy This Piece?\u003cbr\u003eFew motifs carry the immediate historical weight of the fleur-de-lys, and fewer still survive on an authentic medieval silver ring of this quality. For the collector seeking wearable medieval jewelry with genuine presence, 'Lysenne' offers both heraldic charisma and the tactile pleasure of a seal ring shaped by six centuries of hands.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eExplore more \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/medieval-crusader-rings\"\u003eMedieval rings\u003c\/a\u003e from our collection.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Aurora Antiqua","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":61686424305994,"sku":"R-197-S","price":520.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0897\/7140\/9738\/files\/IMG_0644.jpg?v=1776883933","url":"https:\/\/auroraantiqua.com\/products\/medieval-silver-ring-lysenne-13th-15th-c-ce-eu-58-us-8-5","provider":"Aurora Antiqua","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
