Authentic Antique French Notarial Estate Document – Bordeaux 1866 - SZ

An original French notarial document dated 21 February 1866 from Bordeaux, France.

Issued from the office of Henri Sicher, Notary in Bordeaux at Place de la Bourse, this handwritten document appears to be an “acte de notoriété” relating to an estate or succession. It contains beautifully flowing handwritten French script, an original revenue stamp, signatures and later registration notation.

The printed notary’s cover is particularly lovely, with decorative period typography identifying the Bordeaux notarial office.

A wonderful piece of authentic 19th-century French ephemera for collectors, historians, or for use in junk journals, collage, altered books and other paper craft projects.

This is a genuine antique document more than 160 years old and is in well-worn condition. It shows considerable staining and discolouration, losses and deterioration to the cover surface, worn and torn edges, creasing and other signs of age and handling. These imperfections form part of its history and character; please examine the photographs carefully for condition.
