Antique Irish Indenture on Vellum – circa 1802 – Framed Legal Document
A fascinating and original antique Irish indenture, handwritten on vellum dating from the 18th century. The document begins with the classic opening “This Indenture” in bold calligraphic script and is densely written throughout in iron-gall ink.
The text refers to land, property, and legal agreements in Ireland, with multiple place names and parties mentioned, typical of period land conveyance or bargain and sale indentures. The document retains three original red wax seals along the lower edge, each associated with handwritten signatures, confirming its authenticity and legal execution.
Beautifully presented in a vintage glazed frame with a deep red mount, making it ideal for display in a study, library, office, or period interior. The vellum shows age-appropriate toning, folds, and surface wear consistent with genuine use and age, adding to its character and historical appeal. Has slid out of position within the frame so sitting at an angle.
This is very large and frame measures approx 99 x 88cm
A superb decorative and historical piece, ideal for collectors of Irish history, legal manuscripts, genealogy, or antique documents.
Will be well packaged and sent via courier
