Framed Antique French Court Document

This original French handwritten legal document dates to the late 18th or early 19th century and was issued by a royal judicial officer in service to the French crown. Written in flowing iron-gall ink script, this document reflects the highly formalized legal system of historic France, when official matters were certified in ink, sealed in court, and carried by hand.

The piece features elegant period handwriting and the official phrasing used by royal clerks and magistrates, giving it both historical and decorative value. It is a remarkable example of early European legal documentation and makes a striking framed artifact for collectors, libraries, or anyone drawn to the romance of historic French archives.

A rare, tangible fragment of European legal history — ideal for collectors, Francophiles, and lovers of antique ephemera.
