GOLD ENGRAVED SEAL RING, CIRCA 1550, AND A SILVER SEAL, CIRCA 1650-17001st: Engraved with the Ingilby family armorial crest incorporating the boar's head couped and erect above a shield emblazoned with an estoile beneath the motto, 'Mon Droit' (My Right), mounted in gold, 2nd: Similarly engraved without the motto, the surmount composed of two intwined dolphins, ring size J, length of silver seal 2.0cm (2)Footnotes:From the Collection of the Ingilby Family of Ripley CastleLots 209 - 221 Located three miles from Harrogate on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales National Park, Ripley Castle has been the seat of the Ingilby family since the 14th century. Sir Thomas Ingliby (c. 1290–1352) married the heiress, Edeline Thwenge in 1308/9 and acquired the Ripley Castle estate with its medieval manor house as her dowry. While hunting, their eldest son, Thomas (1310–1369), saved Edward III from being attacked by a wild boar and was duly knighted with the boar's head incorporated into the Ingilby family crest (see lots 209 and 213). Subsequent generations of the Ingilby family have survived periods of political and religious turmoil and witnessed great societal change. Today, the Ingilby family still live at Ripley Castle and have been opening it to the public since 1954.The seal ring was used as long ago as 3500 BC and is believed to have originated in Mesopotamia. The ancient Greeks and Romans used seal rings widely and elevated them beyond their functionality to decorative and beautiful jewels.There are references to seal rings in the Bible and they continued to be used throughout Europe during the Middle Ages when heraldry became an important form of authority and identification. The growing merchant class of the Renaissance period led to new levels of embellishment and an increasing need to mark goods, sign letters and seal legal documents. Some of the most important documents in history have been stamped with the initials or crest of the wearer in wax from a seal ring. In its day, the seal of a ring was considered more authentic than a signature (see Scarisbrick, D., 'Rings: Jewelry of Power, Love and Loyalty', London, 2007, pp.9 and 28).The vast majority of seal rings dating from these periods were usually destroyed upon the owner's death to avoid any possibility of forged documents appearing, so it is rare for an armorial seal ring of this age to come to market directly from the family to whom the crest belongs.The practice of wearing a seal ring engraved with a heraldic crest became common in England during the 15th century. However, from the mid-16th century it became more common for a nobleman to wear his family's full coat of arms, as seen in these two seals, which are each engraved with a complete shield.For a similar seal ring, see Bonhams, London, 27th April 2022, lot 53.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
