Antique French parchment handwritten scroll from the reign of King Louis XIV of France in 1712
Parchment is made from sheepskin or calfskin. Around 170 BC, Eumenes II, king of the ancient Anatolian kingdom of Pergamon, was the first to use parchment. Sheepskin was treated with lime, the wool was sheared off, and then softened with pumice to become this new writing material. The English name of parchment, "parchment", comes from the name of this city.
This is a French handwritten parchment scroll that is more than 300 years old. It was built during the reign of King Louis XIV of France, known as the Sun King, who built the Palace of Versailles (during the reign of Emperor Kangxi in China). Many antique documents collected in museums in Europe are of this type.
I have collected French parchment and ancient paper scrolls that are over 200 years old. After analyzing their characteristics, I found that parchment scrolls are actually harder than ancient paper scrolls. Their edges will not become fuzzy due to the friction of time like ancient paper scrolls. They can be taken out more often and used as backgrounds for taking photos. They are also quite suitable for framing.
Size: about 24x18cm, three pages in total, with content on both sides.
Year: 1712 (under Louis XIV)
#The content has not been deciphered yet, so it is unclear.
The historical traces of the ancient documents from more than 300 years ago are very obvious. Those who can accept it can buy it.
