with a 17th Century boot

for the family

Coerman

- a shield of gold with a boot, as crest a barred helmet with a goat -

because the provenance is a collection of seals from

Van Alderwerelt and Heldewier it might have been passed down by

Gijsbertus Johannes Coerman 

to his daughter Maria Henriette Arnoldine Coerman

who married in 1839 with Daniel Ocker Heldewier

 This coat of arms was an easy one to find,

it belongs to the family Van Nispen

I can tell you about the provenance of this wax seal, 

about the branche Van Nispen tot Sevenear and 

a marriage with a lady Lonyay de Nagy Lonya, 

I can tell you about her family in Abbazia or 

his noble Dutch and her noble Hungarian origin, 

but I am taking another way. 

I will go to Uppland, Winterswijk and Upland

here above and under

Huis Seventer - Huis Sevenaer 

where Van Nispen's have lived since 1785

Heraldry and lineage of the Van Nispen family:

 

see: http://www.familieverenigingvannispen.com

Now the different route.

I am born in Upland, California, US.

Our family went to The Netherlands, to the village Winterswijk.

Between 1905 and 1928 the mayor was 

Jonkheer Gerard Albert van Nispen (1868-1949),

his father had a beautiful name:

Gneomar Adalbert van Nispen

The mayor lived in this house:

Villa De Helderkamp in Winterswijk,

now the Karel Doormanstraat.

He was very much involved in getting the dirt roads around Winterswijk paved.

Also the road from Winterswijk, through Woold, to Bocholt in Germany.

During the work there a huge stone was found: 12010kg

In 1915 it was placed on a pedestal in Woold, 

on the crossing of Holdersweg, Langediek and Wooldseweg,

And known since as De Dikke Steen - The Fat Stone

Reserach was done about the origin of the stone.

According to the Heseman method in 1930 

it came from the east of the middle Balticum, Scandinavia

According to the Rijks Geologische Dienst, Zandstra in 1983, it could by more specified as from Dalarna or ...... Uppland

You might understand that I, 

coming from Upland, 

prefer it comes from Uppland

the seal is sold by Delta 98 Den Haag, to the US.....

Romance on a rare millefiori antique wax seal with coat of arms, sold by Delta 98 Den Haag

 an antique, late 18th Century wax seal, made of glass, with the technique known as millefiori, with on the silver matrix a coat of arms

we could not trace the coat of arms, with:

a shield per pale, 

on tincture for blue / azure, three five-pointed stars, on gold a red heart, pierced with an arrow, 

the barred helmet is slightly turned to the left, for heraldic: dexter / right

as crest a five-pointed star

the 3 stars on blue with the same (rare) turned helmet and star crest can be found for Paping, a silversmith in Groningen, Netherlands

 

his wife was also a silversmith, so maybe they made this wax seal and it might have been for personal use, so they did not needed to add hall marks

wouldn't it be romantic if it is a seal to close their letters with love, 

maybe refering to a passionate moment under a night sky full of silver shining stars
