Item Details

A rare, intriguing, and beautifully engraved piece. There are four pairs of small holes indicating that it was sewn onto a hat or uniform. The engraving, along with a bold statement “La Loi” shows that it would have been worn by a guard in th service of Madame La Marquise de Rozay in Andelys. The family name of the Marquesses of Rozay was Fremont and the Fremont arms, with three leopards faces make up half of the arms engraved on this badge.

Shipping and Returns

We are happy to discuss preferences for shipping with every customer. Generally we will carefully pack small items ourselves and send them by USPS with the buyer paying the postage. For somewhat larger items we often go the UPS. For furniture we have worked with a number of different delivery companies. Being only ten minutes from I-95 and available for pickups 24-7 that is easy. No sale is considered final until we know the buyer is happy.

Additional Information

We maintained a traditional antiques shop in the heart of historic Fredericksburg, Virginia for 42 years. Now we have moved to the cloud [really only a mile away and closer to the highway] and are continuing our business online, over the phone, and by appointment. If we were ever to specialize we would only handle things that might have seemed familiar to Washington, Jefferson, Madison and Monroe. But, we really enjoy a wide variety of quality objects.
